Korean-ish Beef, August 10, 2015

Last night's dinner was totally scrumptious, an Asian-inflected comfort food. Both of us had a hard time controlling our portions with this ground beef and rice dish that echoes Korean flavors. The broccoli, which I tossed with a bit of sesame oil and soy sauce and roasted about 10 minutes at 450 degrees, was stellar, too! I added some jasmine rice to round out the meal.

Korean-ish Beef

1 tbsp. sesame oil

1 lb. burger (I used 93% lean)

1/2 c. dark brown sugar

1/4 c. soy sauce (I used low sodium)

1/4 tsp. ginger

Salt & pepper

1/2 -1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

1 bunch scallions, sliced

Heat oil in skillet. Brown beef with garlic. Drain & add the other ingredients, except the scallions. Garnish with scallions. Serves 4.
