Ingredients
  

  • 500 g beef mince
  • 1 tbsp olive oil , or oil of choice
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic , diced or crushed
  • 2 spring onions , finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
  • ¼ tsp dried chilli flakes (optional)
  • ½ tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sweetener , brown sugar, honey etc
  • 1 tbsp sesame seads , toasted
Quick Pickled Veg

  • 1 Lebanese cucumber , ribboned or thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Combine pickled veg ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large fry pan and cook beef mince until browned, breaking it apart.
  3. Stir through vinegar, tamari, chilli flakes, sesame oil and sweetener.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the mince.
  5. Remove from heat once glossy and well combined.
  6. In a dry fry pan, toast sesame seeds for a few minutes, until golden.
  7. Drain pickled vegetables and serve alongside the beef.
  8. Serve beef with rice, pickled veg and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Let the sauce simmer until glossy — this is what gives this Korean Beef Bowl recipe its depth of flavour.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan or the mince will steam instead of brown
  • Taste before serving — a small splash of vinegar or extra tamari can balance it
