Quick Korean Beef & Rice

A friend just turned me onto this recipe... I had everything on hand, it took a VERY short amount of time, and we were crazy about it.  I can see lots of Korean Beef in our future.

I added onion and carrots to "beef" up the beef with veggies.  I also made our Cucumber and Peanut Thai Salad to go along side and it was YUM!

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 - 1 teaspoon crushed red peppers (depending on how spicy you like it)
• salt and pepper
• 1 bunch green onions, diced
• Rice, cooked

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 peppers. Simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Serve over steamed rice and top with green onions.
