Ingredients
- 1/4 cup soy sauce

- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- Optional toppings: Sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and/or sliced red chiles
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef and cook, stirring constantly to break up the meat, for about 5 minutes or until completely browned.
- Stir in the soy sauce mixture until combined. Allow mixture to simmer for about 2 minutes until heated through.
- Serve warm over cooked rice, garnished with optional toppings.
Notes
- To cut down on carbs, you can serve your beef bulgogi with cauliflower rice instead of white rice.
- For best results, I recommend using grass-fed, organic ground beef for this recipe.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days or in the freezer for up to three months.
