Ingredients
  

For Korean Ground Beef
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 lb ground beef 90% or 93% lean
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 green onion thinly sliced
For Korean Bulgogi Sauce
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar packed
  • 1 ½ tbsp rice vinegar unseasoned
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes adjust to taste
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
For Veggies
  • 3 cup broccoli chopped
  • 1 ½ cup carrots julienned or matchstick carrots
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Roast the Veggies
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Spread broccoli and carrots out onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper.
  3. Roast for 22-25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
Make the Korean Ground Beef + Sauce
  1. While the veggies are roasting, mix Korean Bulgogi Sauce ingredients together in a small bowl: soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, crushed red pepper flakes, and ground ginger. Set aside.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and green onion, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up occasionally into small pieces, until cooked through an no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Pour the Korean Bulgogi sauce over the ground beef and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Optionally, toss your roasted vegetables right into your skillet to absorb some of the sauce too.
  5. Garnish with any additional green onion and sesame seeds if desired. Serve with rice, soba noodles, cauliflower rice, or lettuce wraps.
