Korean Beef Bowls

Korean Beef Bowls

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 pound ground beef 
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/4 cup tamari (or soy sauce)
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• sliced green onions and sesame seeds for serving

1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, at the ground beef and cook until no pink remains. Add the garlic and cook an additional 2 minutes, stirring often to fully incorporate.
2. In a small bowl mix the maple syrup, tamari, sesame oil, ginger, red pepper flakes and pepper. Pour the sauce over the ground beef in skillet and simmer 1-2 mins until the beef is fully coated. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside until ready to assemble.
3. In a separate small skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over med heat. Crack the eggs into pan and cook until desired doneness (I suggest sunny-side and oozy yolk!).
4. To assemble your bowl add the cooked white rice as your base, top with the sauced beef and fried egg. Sprinkle with sliced green onions & sesame seeds.
