Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp Packed brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 tsp Ground ginger
- 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 3 pieces Green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 2 cups Cooked white rice or lettuce leaves, for serving
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula or spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the beef and return it to the skillet.
In a small mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Pour the sauce over the cooked ground beef in the skillet. Stir to ensure the beef is evenly coated.
Reduce the heat to medium and let simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Stir in the sliced green onions and mix for another minute.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Serve the gluten-free Korean beef over cooked white rice or wrapped in lettuce leaves for a lighter option.
