I told you about my newfound love of Korean cuisine when I shared these Korean Beef Tacos. Today I have a more traditional Korean recipe for you… bibimbap bowls! Korean beef (also known as bulgogi) is usually made with ribeye steak, but for the sake of cost and ease we’re using ground meat. The sweet-spicy sauce is the same so you still get that amazing flavor. The beef is served over steamed jasmine rice with lots of veggies, a fried egg (or two, if you’re my kids and that’s your favorite part) and Gochujang sauce if you can find it (sriracha will work in a pinch but doesn’t have quite the same flavor). And if you love it, add some kimchi!

Korean Ground Beef Bibimbap Bowls

INGREDIENTS

Sauce:
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. sesame oil
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
1 Tbsp. fresh grated ginger
1 tsp. chili garlic sauce (I used 1/2 tsp. sambal oelek)

Korean Beef Bowls:
1 – 1/12 lbs. ground beef
3 green onions sliced, green and white parts separated
4 eggs
4 tsp. butter
steamed jasmine rice
stir-fried or steamed veggies (mushroom, bell pepper, broccoli, zucchini, cabbage, carrot, onion, etc.)
Gochujang sauce
sesame seeds, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

1. Whisk together the sauce ingredients, set aside
2. Place a large pan over medium high heat on the stove. Add the ground beef and brown, breaking the meat up as it cooks until done, approximately 4-6 minutes.
   Pour the sauce over the meat and bring to a simmer. Stir in the white parts of the green onions, cook for 3-4 minutes.
3. Meanwhile fry the eggs: Heat a frying pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot add the butter. Once butter is melted, crack the eggs into the pan, being careful not to break the yolk. Reduce heat to low. Fry until whites are set and yolks are cooked to desired doneness, 4-5 minutes.
4. To assemble the bowl: Add rice to a bowl, top with korean ground beef, vegetables, then a fried egg. Drizzle with sauce and garnish with remainder of green onions and sesame seeds.

Serves 4.
