Korean Beef

This is like Mongolian Beef but with ground beef...it is a great (and easy) recipe for hamburger.  I usually have hamburger on hand, and I am always looking for ways to use it.


1 pound lean ground beef
1/4 - 1/2 cup brown sugar (depending on how sweet you want it...I used 1/3 cup)
1/4 cup soy sauce 
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced (I used ground ginger)
1/2 - 1 teaspoon crushed red peppers (to desired spiciness)
salt and pepper (I omitted the salt because of the amount of sodium in soy sauce and it tasted great)
1 bunch green onions, diced (don't skip this!)

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown hamburger with garlic in the sesame oil. Drain most of the fat and add brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, salt and pepper and red peppers. Simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Serve over steamed rice and top with green onions.
