Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a keto-friendly option)
1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ginger powder
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 green onion, chopped
Sesame seeds for garnish
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Stir in the soy sauce, gochujang, garlic powder, ginger powder, and red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the meat is well coated and heated through.
In a separate bowl, combine the sliced cucumber with rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the cucumber evenly.
Once the beef is fully cooked, remove it from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then combine the beef with the cucumber mixture.
Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top for added flavor and presentation.
