I’m back again with an easy weeknight dinner!  This time I wanted to make an easy ground beef recipe, since almost everyone has a package of ground beef in their freezer and thinks: “What can I make for dinner with ground beef?”

Well, I have a quick and easy ground beef recipe that you will love: Korean Ground Beef Bowls.  Your family will love these rice bowls and you will love how easy they are to make.

What is a Korean Ground Beef Bowl?

The idea around these Korean beef bowls is that you take the flavors of Korean beef bulgogi but take a shortcut and use ground beef.  It ends up being a delicious dinner that takes about 20 minutes to make.

To make this Korean Beef Bowl, I started with an easy ground beef stir fry – just brown the beef and add the sauce.  I served the Korean beef over white rice and topped it with a sunny side up egg.  A garnish of sesame seeds and sliced green onions is optional, but makes it pretty.

Other than being fast, easy and delicious, another thing I love about this recipe is that it has ingredients you probably already have on hand, and are actually pretty inexpensive. Ground beef and rice recipes are classic for a reason! Would you like to see more ground beef recipes on the blog?  Leave me a comment and let me know!

Ingredients

For Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic finely minced or grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon ginger root grated
  • 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce

For Korean Beef Bowls:

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 3 green onions sliced, green and white parts separated
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 teaspoons butter
  • 1 ½ cups cooked rice
  • sesame seeds optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • Whisk together the sauce ingredients, set aside
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • To make the Korean beef bowl: Add rice to a bowl, top with korean ground beef, then a fried egg.
  • Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

    We had to make some substitutes cause I didn’t want to go to the store. But recipe is our new favorite. We have tried several and most of them have to much sugar. Thanks you

    Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. It’s become a staple in my home. I’ve made it with beef, turkey, tofu (and mixes of those things when I don’t have enough of one) and it comes out delicious and satisfying each time. I like to add whatever veggies I have on hand, and play with the spice level depending on my mood.

    Also easy to make big batches of for meal prep for the week’s lunches (just with a soy egg instead of fried for easier packing)!

    I made sticky rice in my instant pot while I made the beef and everything was ready at the same time. I wanted to up the veg content so I chopped some carrots and threw them in with the rice (cooked perfectly and added a great splash of color) and also had a couple heads of baby boy Choy that needed to get used up so I chopped them up and tossed them in with the beef at the end and just allowed them to wilt a bit (could easily see myself doing this with various other greens – spinach, baby kale, chard, etc… even broccoli florets). It was awesome and appreciate by all everyone in my family! Will def do again!! Thanks for the FAST and DELICIOUs dinner!!

    I just bought 4 one pound packages of ground chuck so I can make these whenever I want, which will be quite often. Very easy and quick, as well as open to adaptation and uses stuff I always have around. Oh, and also got some Kim-chi to further the complexity. This dish is truly delicious and satisfies my desire for something spicy and flavorful.

    I made this for dinner last night and all four of us loved. Sadly there are no leftovers. But seriously I had zero minutes to spend making dinner last night and this was a lifesaver. Will definitely be making it again.
