500kcal
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef Provides hearty protein and rich flavor.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced Boosts flavor and adds aromatic depth.
- 1 inch fresh ginger, grated Adds warmth and a bright, slightly spicy note.
- 1/4 cup soy sauce Supplies savory umami and seasoning without fuss.
- 2 cups cooked rice Creates a comforting, filling base that soaks up the sauce.
Garnishes
- green onions, sliced Add freshness, color, and a mild onion bite.
- sesame seeds Provide a nutty crunch and visual appeal.
Method
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
- If there is excess fat in the skillet, carefully drain it or spoon it out to avoid a greasy dish.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet with the browned beef. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, stirring, until the garlic and ginger are fragrant.
- Stir in the soy sauce, mixing thoroughly so the beef is evenly coated. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3–5 minutes so the flavors meld and the sauce slightly reduces.
- To serve, spoon the beef mixture over the cooked rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes
Use fresh ginger and garlic for the best flavor. Don’t skip draining excess fat if your beef is very fatty — it helps the sauce cling to the meat and keeps the bowl from becoming greasy. Make extra rice and beef to meal-prep lunches. Add quick vegetables like steamed spinach, shredded carrots, or sautéed mushrooms for additional nutrition.
