Korean Beef Veggie Bowl Recipe

October 5, 2018

Korean Beef Veggie Bowl is an easy one or two person recipe, and you can increase the heat (or lower it…especially in my case) to meet your tastes. This is a healthy lunch or dinner idea that can be made easily without much fuss.

Grate garlic and ginger into a hot pan to provide tons of flavor. Add tahini (which is simply ground sesame seeds….it’s amazing), and tamari (gluten-free soy sauce) in order to make a sauce. Stir in the ground beef….and – deliciousness awaits. Top that on a bowl of veggies, or into a lettuce cup. If you need to cook those veggies first, simply sear them in the sauté pan after you’ve cooked the beef.

Optional but a great finish to the dish is to top the bowl with ground sesame seeds…and there you have it!
