Korean ground beef, also known as “Korean Beef Bowl,” is a dish that is often made by cooking ground beef and garlic in a skillet over medium heat, then seasoning it with brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and red pepper flakes.

We exchanged the brown sugar for honey and added freshly squeezed orange juice to brighten it up.

Then added a touch of hot sauce for that slight kick that rounds out the flavor profile.

Ground beef bowls are totally delicious!

They typically consist of a flavorful mixture of ground beef, and Korean chili flakes (gochugaru) served over a bed of rice.

The combination of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors is a hallmark of Korean cuisine.

🔥I love the addition of hot sauce in this dish, but feel free to leave it out. OR if you’re feeling SPICY, add more!

🥩If you eat beef, you might want to consider making sure it comes from grass-fed cows!

A few highlights:
Grass-fed beef offers up to 5x the amount of omega-3 fatty acids as conventionally raised beef.

It’s also higher in conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a type of fat that appears to be linked with a lower incidence of some chronic diseases.

Plus, it’s higher in vitamins A, E, and antioxidants compared to beef from cows that were fed grain.

You can buy grass-fed beef in most supermarkets … but a nearby farmer’s market/local butcher can help you to find a great local source.

✅Because grass-fed is a little leaner than grain-fed beef, cook it at a lower temperature for a shorter time to avoid damaging the omega-3s.
