Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free sweetener
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 medium onion
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 tablespoon green onions
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- Salt
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add sesame oil.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- While the beef cooks, in a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar-free sweetener, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Set aside.
- Once the beef is browned, add the sliced onions to the skillet, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until they start to become translucent.
- Pour the soy sauce mixture over the beef and onions, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes so the flavors meld together.
- In a separate pan, sauté the spiralized zucchini with a pinch of salt until just tender, about 3-4 minutes, to serve as a low-carb base for your beef bowl.
- Divide the cooked zucchini among bowls and top with the Korean beef mixture.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- Perfect for quick dinners or meal prep.
