20-Minute Korean Beef Recipe: This Tasty Korean Ground Beef Recipe Is Budget-friendly | Beef | 30Seconds Food

A bit too sweet!

Yummy! Really quick and easy.

Easy and full of flavor

Really Yummy 😋

We like to add whatever veggies we have on hand (onions, pepper, mushrooms, carrots, zucchini, etc) and half the brown sugar! Super delicious fast and easy!

Simple and tasty

Sweeter than I thought, but it was very good.

Way too much brown sugar completely destroyed the dish and I have a sweet tooth

I only added 1/4 cup of brown sugar instead of 1/2. Turned out very good.

It turned out well. Easy to make.

Great recipe really easy and quick

Great recipe, comes together quickly and tastes great. I would add veggies on nights you have more time/energy!

Delicious! I added peppers to it and made veggies as the side.

Hard part was peeling the garlic. 🤪 Cut the sugar in half. Will add broccoli and possibly snap peas next time. Serving over a dirty rice.

Don't pack the brown sugar, it's quite a bit.

Made plenty for lunches for the week. Cheap and easy! Threw in random veggies I had!

Tasty! I did 1/2 of the sugar and 1/2 of the sesame oil so it wasn't overly sweet or overpowered by the sesame oil. My kids also loved it which was a pleasant surprise.

Added one yellow onion

I changed the recipe a bit. - lessened the sugar - added chili garlic sauce - added matchstick carrots and radishes

Yummy

Made this with ground turkey and was super tasty! Super quick to make too

Delicious.

Really easy one pan protein. Goes well with white rice and some crisp veggies.

Easy to make, taste is pretty good but it is a bit dry.

This was absolutely delicious but definitely on the dry side. I used dark soy as I prefer it, and a LOT less sugar than called for. I also served with sweetcorn which went down very well.

This is the perfect, quick weeknight meal! Took about 25-30 minutes to prep/cook and was delicious over rice 😋 I didn't have low-sodium soy sauce, so I just used half the amount of regular. I was worried it'd be too dry, and, yes, it was dry but it didn't really matter -- in the end, it tasted great! Another toddler-approved dinner that I will be frequenting!

Very tasty / easy meal! I definitely overcooked the eggs so I will be trying it again soon

I have always loved Korean beef however those is by far the best I've ever had!! So sweet and yummy and almost caramelized!!

Please keep in mind this is an Eastern dish, and yes its a umami sweet flavor. Very delicious. I halved the soy since I didn't have light sodium, and the results were just as good. Will make it again. It's so easy to make and keeps well. Also repeats nicely.

It was ok. I thought it was on the dry side. I added some onions and peas to it. I don't think I make it again

I would do less brown sugar as it was a bit sweet. We added shredded carrots for the last 4 minutes.

Bit too sweet, not amazing, interesting to try out but might not make it again

Quick and easy dish

Also made with pork mince, adding shallots & peas. I think I preferred it that way.

Added cashews and celery for added texture and protein.

Halve the sugar, serve with rice and green beans. Delicious!

It turned out great. I used chopped up flank steak instead of ground beef, used green onions, and used grated ginger instead of ginger powder. Chef’s kiss.

Reduce sugar, add veg and put over rice ❤️

Bulked out with mixed veg and broccoli. Added some cornflour at the end. Loved it

Bit too sweet. I would reduce the sugar a bit - maybe 1/3 of a cup. Kids liked it.

Used broccoli and grean beans with some brown wild rice

Really good, really easy. Find some veggies to serve with it for a complete meal.

I tripled the recipe for my family and it is family approved

A huge hit, I served this with fried rice and it will become a staple in our home. We did cut the brown sugar in half, as stated below it seemed like a lot.

We cooked this with stir fry beef (sliced instead of ground) and velveted it with corn starch before stir frying. So delicious! Will double the sauce and add broccoli next time for a fuller meal.

Reduced the amount of brown sugar. The amount in the ingredients was too much.

Added veggies and a sauce to make this into a Korean rice bowl. Sautée veggies in sesame oil, salt and pepper. Thinly sliced carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms. I like to cook each separately. Sauce to go on top: sour cream with a little siracha & add a little water until you have a drizzle.

The picture does it no justice, but it was quite tasty!!!! My only modification to the recipe was to use only half of the sugar (learned the hard way that I don’t like sweet beef dishes). I opted to use a little red pepper flakes (probably about 1/8 teaspoon) too, I’m sure that helped balance out the sweetness as well!

Use less sugar, it tastes very sweet with the original recipe.

Added cumin and black pepper. Now it's a vibe!

So good!

Good flavor. Would make again, and add the green onions as recommended and more pepper flakes!

Used only half the sugar and it was still a little too sweet. Will try less next time

Double the sauce and add veggies

Halfed the sugar as others recommended and added in chilli oil to give it more of the heat I'd expected and it was delicious. Easy enough to add veggies in as well so added broccoli and sugar snap peas at the same time as the sauce.

WOW. So good. I made a few moderations. I cooked the beef (and doubled the recipe ;) in just a little salted butter, added more garlic than called for (+ 2 cloves), a dash of garlic powder, more red pepper than less, a little less sugar (-1/4), topped with Sriracha mayo, homemade pickled onion, avocado and cucumber. There’s rice under there somewhere haha. Easy recipe and can’t wait for leftovers!

Added half a Napa cabbage and doubled the sauce. Very yummy! (Please enjoy my cat in the background)

It was absolutely delicious. I did add some garlic powder but other than that it was amazing! Will definitely make again.

The entire family adored it - even the picky littles. I doubled the recipe (good thing) so there were leftovers. I substituted gochugaru (red chili powder) 1 tsp per batch so it wouldn't come out too spicy for the kids. Then the adults drizzled sambal sauce (Sriracha would work too) over the top. I served it all hot over jasmine rice with spring mix lettuce on the side. PERFECT, quick, and super easy. Made it again, but this time I doubled the ginger - even better! tried to get away with TWO tsp gochugaru, but sadly, the 3 yr old couldn't eat it because it was "too spicy" I'll have to go back to 1. Also I used La Yu oil on top for added kick instead of sambal, and that was even better too 👌 👏

Easy and yummy! Definitely make again

Yum! Simple and tasty. I served mine with white rice and steamed peas. Husband wasn't sure what to think about the sweetness, but I really enjoyed it, especially with a bit of Sriracha.

Decided to go with this recipe instead of my usual and love it!!

Double the sauce, even triple it so you have lots extra for rice. I used soy meat instead. Easy to replace in recipe.

This is my favorite recipe to make, super easy and quick, and tastes AMAZING!! This is my go to when I need to prep something quick.

Amazing and simple, also very versatile, you can pretty much add whatever vegetables you want and just double the sauce ingredients if you add more than a cup of veggies.

Made it with beyond meat, and added a side of sautéed pointed red pepper - solid, easy meal!

Easy as can be and my wife loved it! Will definitely make again

Um….this is SHOCKINGLY sooo good and extremely easy. This is going on the rotation for sure. Might toss some broccoli in with the beef next time

Yum, sweeter than thought so will half the sugar next time. Topped with crispy onions and Siriracha

Turned out amazing! Will definitely get green onion to top it off next time

Was easy to make and good to eat. A little sweet but that's more to my taste.

Tastes great! I'll make it again!

Thus was very good but I would cut back on the brown sugar and add more sesame and ginger. The family loved it!

Mixed with rice and broccoli. Super easy and flavorful

Total family favorite! Little dry because we ran out of soy sauce from doubling the recipe. Can’t wait to make more.

This is a really delicious and simple dish. You can adjust the spice level and it was nice to have a different recipe and taste for ground beef. I added a bit of red bell pepper also.

so good! will be added to rotation

Lovely

Didn't have brown sugar used white sugar instead

I would used steak or shredded beef instead of ground beef. Little less brown sugar.

I halved the sugar and glad I did

Cut down on sugar yo like 1/8th of a cup Use real ginger I'd add something acidic like rice vinegar to add a layer

Came our wonderfully. The amount of brown sugar and soy sauce seemed excessive so I halved it and it was great for my family. Will definitely make it again!

3tbsps of sugar and 3 tbsps of soy sauce. Added peas. Was popular with whole family

I used steak and it was delicious! Added more flakes so it was quite spicy!

Highly recommend adding some red chili flakes or sriracha, but very good!

Added peas to the rice, and watched the brown sugar based on the comments! I loved it!

Agree with everyone that it doesn't need all the sugar but was decent enough. Not mind blowing but my partner went back for seconds and I can see it being a regular because it's so easy.

As a base this is a quick an easy recipe. I only used 1/4 cup brown sugar. I also used fresh ginger & garlic and at least a 1/2 teaspoon. Also because it needed some crunch I just added the broccoli when I added the sauce.

My family wanted to disown me after I served this up. I thought it was incredible, but everyone else was heating up hot pockets for dinner. It was definitely a little sweet. I probably could have cut the brown sugar usage in half and maybe they would have liked it. Unfortunately this goes on the “Never again” list

Made with Swerve brown sugar. Magnificent!

This is a great quick recipe for when you don't have time to cook a giant thing with lots of ingredients. Fits that under 30min. My kid likes this type of food but feel like if you cut back on the spicy most kids would eat this :-)

Used 1/3 cup of brown sugar and gluten free soy sauce .. ery tasty with a slight kick

This is one we will make a regular meal of ours. So easy I cooked the whole thing in 30 minutes while holding a toddler! Super tasty too. Serve the beef with white rice and steamed carrots for a full meal.

I deliberated over 👍 or 👎 👍it was easy and fast to throw together and I had all ingredients on hand. I made a batch of rice in the insta pot and the meal was ready 👎a very single-note flavor. It desperately needs veggies and spice. I would not make this recipe again but the sauce would be a decent sweet/sour with a few tweaks

This was amazing! Nice sweetness (after cutting down on sugar like suggested). Used 1/3 cup brown sugar, minced garlic and ginger. Also added pepper and onion strips.

a lot of the reviews were right about cutting back some of the sugar but this ended up being delicious!!

Really easy to follow and cook and super tasty! Would add some more hot sauce next time I think, only do if you like it a bit more spicy 🌶️

Whole family liked it and would like me to make it again . Only change I'd make is use about 1/4-1/3 less brown sugar

I ended up adding chili garlic sauce and oyster sauce to this.

IT WAS GREAT!!!! Instead of ground beef, I used a strip steak of equal weight, cooked it to just before rare, cut it into slices, then continued with the rest of the cooking process. An amazing dish!

It was really easy to make and super fast! If you're doing minute rice, start that before the meat. I'd probably do a little less sugar next time because it was a little sweeter than I like but still great and cheap!

We thought it was delicious and very easy to make. We will make it again.

It would be great to use chicken and add some veggies.

Would reduce the brown sugar to 1/4 cup. Had to use the Sriracha to cut the sweetness to make it edible.

It needed tweaking but good base for the recipe. Changes I made: - 3 tbsp soy sauce instead of 4 - Added a sprinkling of bouillon powder and salt to compensate for the lack of saltiness - 3 tbsp of brown sugar instead of what the recipe called for - a dash of mirin (optional) - dash of Sriracha instead of red pepper flakes We served it with Jasmine Rice and a side of sauteed garlic broccoli. The kids devoured it!

We loved this dish and it was an easy to follow recipe. I used sambal oelek as the chilli paste and it worked well.

It needs the spice to help with the sweet. Mixing a TBS siracha with 2 of mayo makes a good sauce to cut the sweet

This is amazing

It's not something my kids would eat because I use a lot of red pepper flakes but it was delicious! Has the sweet and spicy going for it.

Less soy. Does not need 1/4 cup

I didn’t have ginger so that was a definite miss, but the meat still didn’t have enough flavor for me. I added a sweet chili sauce to it which helped a lot

It was pretty good. I tripled the sauce and probably used about 1.5-2 pounds of ground beef and then added 2 red peppers cut up into slivers, a good size zucchini, some bok choy, and an onion. I also used fresh ginger because I was out of powder and dark soy sauce because that stuff is so good. I thought the sauce was a little thin so I added some cornstarch slurry. We put it on top of rice with some poached eggs. All in all a pretty quick dinner that everyone liked.

Super delicious and easy to make, I swapped ground ginger for fresh crushed ginger and chilli flakes and sriracha for some gochujang paste amd reduced the sugar to just under 1/3 C

Insanely good but a bit too spicy because my partner was heavy handed - will definitely make it again but with less chilli 😂

Reduce sugar

Was delicious. I added some raw honey and sesame seeds. The honey was a great addition to sweeten it up even more and give a nice sauce for the rice.

Used extra lean ground beef. Added only 4 tsp sugar instead of 1/2 cup and added bag of zucchini and squash

Seemed like a lot of sugar so I only put in around 1 tbsp. Enjoyed it with noodles.

I used more garlic, of course, and added some vegetable's that I had on hand - bell pepper, onion and celery. It was quick, easy and delicious.

The flavors were so yummy! And it was so easy to make!

I cut down the sugar to 2/3 of what the recipe called for and still found the recipe to be quite sweet.

Easier sauce recipe and just as good as other one I saved

I roasted some Normandy veggie mix (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, zucchini and yellow squash) with sesame oil, salt, pepper and powdered ginger and pickled the scallion whites in white wine vinegar and piled it all on top with the green scallions. It was SO good! Better than my normal bibimbop recipe!

Made this and my wife loved it! It was sweeter then expecting but I didn't have all the spices and used what I had.
