Instructions

Korean Beef

  • Heat a large skillet over high heat with a spritz of oil. Add beef to the pan, breaking it up a bit, and then let it sit without stirring for a couple of minutes to let it brown on the bottom. Sprinkle it with salt and a little pepper.
  • Add chopped bell pepper to the pan, and break up the meat some more, letting the meat and peppers cook for about 3-4 minutes while you make your sauce.
  • In a small bowl or jar, whisk or shake together the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, fish sauce, brown sugar, and gochujang sauce. Pour it over the meat and bell peppers, combining well.
  • Stir in your chopped green onions. Cook for one more minute before turning off the heat.

To Build the Bowl

  • Start with greens in the bottom of your bowl.
  • Add your cooked rice, and top with the warm beef mixture.
  • Add your sliced cucumbers, carrots, and avocado.
  • Fry an egg, leaving the yolk nice and runny, and add it atop your beef.
  • Finish with a sprinkle of green onions, cilantro, and any optional sriracha, jalapeños, and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
