This recipe was an instant hit.  I have to make a double batch if I want leftovers for the next day.

It pairs well with steamed veggies like broccoli or edamame.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 bunch of scallions, sliced as a garnish
• Rice (white or brown, your choice)

Sauce

• 1/4 up packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup soy sauce, reduced sodium is preferred
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps

1. Start some rice while you prepare the rest
2. Brown the hamburger and garlic in a pan.  Break it up into crumbles as it browns.
3. While the hamburger is cooking, whisk the sauce ingredients (brown sugar, soy sauce, red pepper, black pepper)
4. When the hamburger is browned, drain off the fat and pour in the sauce.  Simmer for a minute or two.  Mix in the scallions.
5. Serve over rice
