- 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- ½ cup beef broth
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat until no longer pink, breaking up with a spatula as the meat cooks
Add the remaining ingredients, except the sesame oil, and stir until well combined
Allow to simmer on medium heat until most of the liquid is absorbed and the sauce has thickened
Stir in the sesame oil, and serve
If serving over rice, start the rice when you start the beef, as the meat does not take long at all.
If you're not using lean meat, you may want to drain the grease after browning.
You can sub red pepper flakes or chili sauce or your favorite hot sauce for the Sriracha or leave out for milder flavor.
