# Steps:
01 -
Heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion. Cook, breaking up the beef, until beef is fully cooked and onions soften. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Drain excess liquid if necessary and return to pan.
02 -
Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, and ground ginger until smooth.
03 -
Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked beef mixture. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the beef.
04 -
Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the beef. Serve immediately over cooked white rice if desired.
# Tips:
01 -
For gluten-free preparation, substitute soy sauce with coconut aminos or tamari. Using low-sodium soy sauce helps control saltiness.
02 -
Cooking ground beef with the onions and garlic first ensures deeper flavor and proper texture before adding sauce.
03 -
Storing leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator is safe for up to 3 days; reheat gently adding a splash of water or broth to restore sauciness.
