Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Korean
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cauliflower rice
- 1 green onion, chopped
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by mincing garlic and ginger, chopping green onions, and measuring out soy sauce and sesame oil.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon, cooking until browned and no pink remains, approximately 7-8 minutes.
- Drain excess fat from the beef if desired, leaving a small amount for additional flavor.
- Add minced garlic and ginger to the beef, stirring continuously to prevent burning and to distribute flavors evenly.
- Pour soy sauce and sesame oil over the beef, mixing thoroughly to coat the meat completely. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- While beef is cooking, prepare cauliflower rice by heating in a separate pan or microwave according to package instructions.
- Divide cauliflower rice among four serving bowls, creating a base for the Korean beef.
- Top each bowl with the seasoned ground beef, ensuring an even distribution.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while hot, optionally adding extra soy sauce or sesame oil to taste.
Tips
- Choose high-quality ground beef with a slightly higher fat content (80/20 ratio) for maximum flavor and juiciness.
- For extra authenticity, use tamari instead of regular soy sauce to keep the recipe completely gluten-free.
- To prevent garlic and ginger from burning, add them after the beef is mostly cooked and keep the heat at medium.
- If you want to boost the protein content, consider adding a small amount of grated cheese or a fried egg on top.
- Make sure to drain excess fat carefully to maintain the right consistency of the beef mixture.
- For meal prep, you can cook the beef and cauliflower rice separately and store them in containers for quick assembly during the week.
- Experiment with additional low-carb garnishes like sliced radishes or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra kick.
