Method
- Place a large skillet or wok over medium high heat. Let it get properly hot. You want to hear a satisfying sizzle when the beef hits the pan.
- Add the ground beef to the hot pan. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break it apart as it cooks. Let it cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, until it's nicely browned and cooked through. Don’t rush this step. Those crispy brown bits are pure flavor.
- Push the cooked beef to one side of the skillet. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the white parts of your sliced green onions to the empty side. Let them cook for about 30 seconds, just until they become incredibly fragrant.
- Pour the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil directly into the pan. Sprinkle in the brown sugar and black pepper. Stir everything together, first combining the sauce ingredients, and then mixing them into the beef and aromatics. Let it come to a gentle simmer.
- Allow the sauce to simmer with the beef for 1 to 2 minutes. This is where a little bit of patience pays off. You’ll see the sauce thicken slightly, clinging to every single piece of beef.
- Turn off the heat. Stir in half of your toasted sesame seeds and half of the green parts of your green onions. Give it one last good stir. To serve, spoon the glorious beef mixture over a bed of warm, steamed rice. Garnish generously with the remaining sesame seeds and green onions.
