Korean food | Bewitching Kitchen

Yet another recipe that exemplifies my favorite type of lunch: high in protein, low in carbs and with bold flavor. Of course, it is best enjoyed over rice, to make it even more satisfying. Make it cauliflower rice if you want to lighten it up.

KOREAN-STYLE GROUND BEEF
(from The Bewitching Kitchen)

1 lb (450g) ground beef (I used ground bison)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon grape seed oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
¼ cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon spicy chili crisp (or more to taste)
green onions, thinly sliced, and sesame seeds for garnish

Mix soy sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, and chili flakes in a small bowl. Set aside.

Heat sesame oil and grape seed oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ginger, sauté for 30 seconds, then add the ground beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it into crumbles.

Pour the sauce over the meat, stir well, and simmer for a few minutes until thickened.

Stir in chopped green onions, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve hot over rice, cauliflower rice, or in lettuce wraps.

ENJOY!

Comments: You can make this recipe with ground turkey if you prefer, in fact I made that the following week and intend to repeat, alternating beef and turkey for fun. It is indeed one of my favorite types of lunch. I know that Koren food has nothing to do with Mexico, but I admit that I used this filling on corn tortillas and my crime has to be forgiven by the universe because I enjoyed it. Immensely. But on a more traditional route, here it is, over rice, with some pickled red onions (store-bought) and fresh tomatoes. Pure heaven.
