Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Heat 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 to 7 minutes.
Drain excess fat from the skillet if needed.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the beef and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef in the skillet and stir to combine.
Reduce heat to medium and simmer the beef mixture for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove from heat and stir in sliced green onions.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top before serving.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
