Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/4 lbs lean ground beef (I use 90% lean)
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 3 cups steamed rice
  • 3 cups steamed or sauteed vegetables (such as broccoli, asparagus, carrots, mushrooms and/or peppers)

Instruction

  • Place a large pan over medium high heat on the stove. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking the meat up with a spatula, until done, approximately 4-6 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for 1 more minute.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, brown sugar and soy sauce.
  • Pour the sauce over the meat and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water. Add it to the beef mixture and cook for 1 minute or until sauce has thickened.
  • Stir in the green onions and sesame seeds.
  • Divide the rice and vegetables between 4 bowls. Spoon the beef over the top and serve.
