Korean Beef and Rice {Or Quinoa}: Simple 20-Minute Meal
from: Mel @ www.melskitchencafe.com/
I've made this dozens of times and it can be varied in a lot of ways for serving: use rice, quinoa - or both. We also love it in lettuce wraps or we line our bowls with romaine lettuce, scooped in some quinoa/rice and a spoonful of the meat mixture. Delicious!
Serves: 6
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey or ground beef or ground chicken
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken or beef broth
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes plus more to taste or 1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger
3 green onions, chopped
Hot, cooked rice or quinoa for serving
Directions
Start the rice or quinoa, cooking according to package directions (usually about 15-17 minutes cooking time).
While the rice/quinoa cooks, in a large, 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the meat, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
Cook, stirring to break the meat into small pieces, until the meat is cooked through and crumbly, about 7-10 minutes.
Drain any excess grease.
In a liquid measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, broth, sesame oil, red pepper flakes (or chili-garlic sauce), and ginger.
Stir the sauce into the meat and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes or so.
Serve over hot, cooked rice or quinoa, topped with the chopped green onions.
