Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 pound ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spoon, for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Step 2: Stir in 3 cloves minced garlic and 1 tablespoon grated ginger; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 3 tablespoons soy sauce and 2 tablespoons brown sugar to the skillet, stirring to coat the beef evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the beef.
Step 4: Remove from heat and stir in 2 sliced scallions.
Step 5: Divide 4 cups steamed white rice into bowls, top each with the glazed beef mixture, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
