Servings: 8
Ingredients
Sauce and Beef
- ½ cup soy sauce note 1
- 5 tablespoons brown sugar packed
- 4 tablespoons mirin note 2
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1.5-2 lbs ground beef lean
Other Ingredients
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 2 small yellow onion sliced
- ½ teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 medium carrots shredded
- 4-6 pieces green onion or scallions finely chopped
- 2 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Combine the sauce ingredients—soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, garlic—in a mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until the sugar dissolves completely. Pour this mixture over the ground beef, mix, and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
- Heat a pan/wok with cooking oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they're nearly translucent.
- Add the grated ginger into the pan/wok and continue cooking until its aroma is released.
- Add marinated beef into the pan and stir-fry it until fully cooked.
- Once the beef is cooked, add the sesame oil and shredded carrots. Cook until the carrots are slightly softened but retain some crunchiness.
- Finish off by sprinkling the dish with chopped green onions.
- Remove the pan/wok from heat, serve with steamed rice, and enjoy!
Notes
Serve with a side of steamed rice.
I like to add blanched broccoli. Add at the end before serving.
- Chop the broccoli: Cut the broccoli into medium florets. Add the florets to the boiling water and cook for 30 seconds.
