Easy and quick weeknight menu with Korean BBQ flavors. Ground beef marinated in soy sauce, mirin, and garlic, stir-fried until caramelized. Perfect with rice and a hint of chili sauce for a kick!
Combine beef, garlic, onion, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, plum extract and black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
You could marinate for 30 minutes but it's not necessary because we are using ground beef.
Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat, add cooking oil and swirl to coat. Add the ground beef mixture, stir fry and break down the meat into little pieces. Keep cooking until there's no moisture and everything is fully cooked, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
When you hear the sizzling and all the moisture from the beef is gone, toss in chopped green onions. Turn off the heat. Add sesame seeds and sesame oil, toss one last time.
Serve on top of warm cooked rice, cauliflower rice, quinoa or any starch of your choice. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion if desired.
