Ingredients

• 1 lb. lean ground beef
• 3 garlic cloves minced
• 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
• salt and pepper
• 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (I do a little less than 1/4 tsp. of red pepper flakes so it’s not too spicy for my kids.)
• 2 cups cooked rice
• 1 bunch green onions diced

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown beef with garlic in the sesame oil.
2. Drain most of the fat and add brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, salt and pepper and red pepper flakes.
3. Simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors.
4. Serve over steamed rice and top with green onions.
