Korean Beef & Broccoli Bowls

Easy 20-Minute Korean Beef & Broccoli Bowls – Quick, Flavorful, Weeknight Dinner

• Yields: 4 servings

• Prep time: 5 minutes

• Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef

• 1/2 cup soy sauce (or teriyaki sauce for a sweeter, thicker sauce)

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

• 3 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets

Optional Toppings:

• Cooked rice

• Chopped green onions

• Sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Cook the Beef & Broccoli: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess grease. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they start to become tender-crisp.

2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic (or garlic powder), and sesame oil.

3. Combine: Pour the sauce mixture directly into the skillet with the beef and broccoli. Stir everything together until the beef and broccoli are well-coated.

4. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the broccoli is cooked to your desired tenderness.

5. Serve: Spoon the Korean beef and broccoli mixture over cooked rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
