Instructions
1-Get ready to create a meal that’s both fun and fast with this easy guide: Start by pulling together all your ingredients, which takes just a few minutes. This recipe adapts traditional Bulgogi flavors using 1 pound of ground beef, cooked with a mix of garlic, green onions, and a tasty sauce for that authentic taste.
2-First, heat 2 teaspoons of sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. The oil adds a wonderful nutty flavor that makes the beef shine. Once it’s hot, toss in the 2 cloves of minced garlic and the white and light green parts of 2 green onions, cooking until they smell amazing.
3-Cooking the Beef: Next, add the 1 pound of lean ground beef to the skillet and break it up as it browns. This step takes about 6-8 minutes and lets the flavors from the 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons coconut sugar, 1/2 teaspoon chili garlic sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger blend in perfectly. Stir in the seasonings and let it simmer for a couple of minutes to deepen the taste.
4-After cooking, remove from heat and mix in 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds. For a complete meal, serve with 1 cup of cooked white rice inside the leaves from 1 head of butter lettuce. Garnish with the darker green parts of the green onions and more sesame seeds if you like.
