Ingredients
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add minced garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in brown sugar, soy sauce, and rice vinegar (if using). Mix well to coat the beef evenly.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add red pepper flakes or gochujang for heat, if desired.
Stir in most of the sliced green onions, reserving some for garnish.
Serve the beef over warm cooked rice and top with sesame seeds, extra green onions, and optional vegetables or a fried egg.
