This easy beef rice bowl is my go-to favorite easy weeknight meals. It comes together in less than 20 minutes and uses simple pantry staples.
I love a good ground beef recipe, they're affordable, cooks in no time and super versatile like this Korean Ground Beef Bulgogi Rice Bowl. Add a fried egg for some extra protein, or if you happen to have Mayak Eggs in your fridge, I would add as well.

This tasted delicious however, I could not get my beef to crisp up.

You have to crispy it up before adding the sauce. I hope that helps.

There are no instructions for the sesame oil. Is that used in place of the neutral oil? It's mentioned all over the article but it's not mentioned in the instructions.
Carmen Spillette says
Hi Lisa, you add the sesame oil at the end. Thank you!
