Korean Beef

Korean Beef is so flavorful and fast! It's only takes about 15 minutes from start to finish, making it perfect for a busy weeknight meal.  The ground beef is seasoned with garlic and ginger, and then simmered with a brown sugar/soy sauce mixture.  If you like a little kick to it you can add a little sriracha sauce, or just leave it out for a sweet and savory flavor.  I like to serve this over rice with a side of broccoli and a little extra soy sauce for drizzling.
