Weekly Recipe: Korean Beef Bowl

I love to try new things and experiment with food. I'm not partial to any one genre of food either. One of our favorite foods in my house is this Korean Beef recipe served over rice and with salad on the side.

• ⅓ cup  brown sugar, packed
• ¼ cup Gluten Free soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• ½ teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Onion, thinly sliced

1. Mix together brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and ground ginger in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Brown ground beef in a non-stick skillet and drain, reserving 1 TBS of grease. Sauté onion in reserved grease until slightly browned. Add garlic to skillet and sauté until fragrant. Add beef and sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes until well coated and heated through.  Serve over rice with Salad or steamed vegetables on the side.

VARIATION: Sometimes I make this with cubed beef in the crock pot. When I do it this way I allow it to simmer on low for 4-8 hours. This makes sure that the beef cubes end up so tender that they are basically falling apart they are so tender.
ENJOY!
