Ingredients
- 1 lbs ground beef
- 2 cup broccoli florets
- 2 stalks carrots peeled, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp green onions chopped
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Korean Stir Fry Sauce
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp Gochujang adjust according to spice level
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Bring all ingredients for Korean Stir Fry Sauce into a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Heat large frying pan to medium high/high heat. Add vegetable oil. Once pan is heated, add broccoli florets and carrots. Stir continuously until they turned darker green/darker orange - this will take a few minutes. Remove veggies promptly from skillet and set aside. Do not overcook - they should still be crunchy.
- Add ground beef to skillet. Break it apart into small pieces. Cook until most of the beef are no longer pink (some should still be pink). Immediately add garlic, broccoli, carrots and stir fry sauce to pan.
- Stir continuously so that ground beef and vegetables are coated in sauce. Once ground beef is completely cooked, remove from heat promptly.
- Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve over rice. Enjoy!
Notes
Do not overcook ground beef and vegetables. Overcooked ground beef will be dry and tough, and overcooked vegetables will be soggy. Stir frying process goes quick so make sure to stir continuously so that item cooked evenly, and remove items from heat promptly once it is cooked.
