• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• green onions, diced
• Rice, cooked

Takes 25 min | Serves 4

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot (test by splashing a tiny bit of water onto the pan; if it sizzles you’re good!) add the sesame oil & garlic – stir frequently so it does not burn. Once flagrant (approximately 2 minutes) add the ground beef
2. Drain most of the fat from the skillet.
3. Add brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, salt and pepper and crushed red pepper.
4. Simmer for a few minutes to fully soak in the sauce.
5. Serve over steamed rice and top with green onions (we added asparagus on the side).
