Equipment

  • Slow cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1/2 cup soy
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup broccoli cooked

For Serving

  • 4 cups white rice or cabbage or riced cauliflower
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess grease. Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  • Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker. Pour the sauce over the beef and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 1.5-2 hours to let the flavors blend.
  • For the last half hour, cook the broccoli and add it to the slow cooker.
  • Scoop the Korean beef over bowls of steamed white rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra flavor.
