Step 1: Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Serve the savory beef mixture over a bed of cooked rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra flavor and texture. For extra heat, add more red pepper flakes or hot sauce.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Korean Beef Bowls
