Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the beef and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef in the skillet and stir to combine.
Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the beef.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve hot over steamed rice or with your favorite vegetables.
