Sauce Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Tamari sauce
- 2 tablespoons pure honey
- 1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Main Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 5 cloves garlic (chopped)
- 1 lb extra lean ground beef (90% lean)
- green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, combine tamari sauce, honey, Asian sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and ground ginger. Stir well to blend all flavors and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics: Heat olive oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to smoke slightly. Add chopped onion and garlic, stirring continuously for 2 to 3 minutes until they become aromatic and translucent.
- Cook the beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the beef is about halfway browned.
- Add the sauce: Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the beef and stir thoroughly to combine. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully browned and cooked through.
- Serve: Spoon the beef mixture over warm rice bowls. Gently mix the beef into the rice, and garnish with chopped green onions. Optionally, serve with Gochujang sauce for added heat and flavor.
