Ingredients
For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons mirin
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup beef broth or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
For the bowls:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/3 cup scallions chopped
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1/2 cup carrots cut into thin matchsticks
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Optional, for serving:
- white rice to taste, cooked and hot
- sesame seeds to taste

Directions
- In a bowl, add the brown sugar, the fresh ginger, the garlic, the mirin, the soy sauce, the vinegar, the broth, and the cornstarch and whisk to combine. Set the sauce mixture aside.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook, while crumbling, until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Drain the excess fat from the skillet.
- Add 1/3 cup of the scallions, the bell peppers, and the carrots to the beef and cook, while stirring, until the veggies softened slightly, about 3 minutes.
- Add the sauce mixture to the beef mixture and cook, while stirring, until the sauce thickens and the vegetables become tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.
- Taste the sauce mixture for seasoning and add the salt and the black pepper, as needed.
- Plate the beef mixture over the hot rice.
- Garnish with the sesame seeds and the extra scallions and serve.
