Hi guys, I'm Laura Vitale and on this episode of Laura in the Kitchen I want to show you
how to make a simple, easy, fast but delicious Korean Beef and Rice.
Not authentic, but trust me, you're going to love it because it is delicious!
Let me run you through the list of ingredients you'll need for the beef, because the rice
is just white Jasmine rice that is cooked to the package instructions.
Ground Beef.
I've got ginger, garlic, brown sugar, sesame, hot pepper flakes, and here I've got soy sauce
and a little bit of toasted sesame oil and I also need some scallions for the top, and
a little bit of either light olive oil or an avocado oil or a vegetable oil or anything
that's light in flavor and can stand up to heat because right now I have it going in
a really hot pan because I want it to be really hot when I add the beef in, so I'm going to
add the beef, break it up as much as you can with your wooden spoon.
Now really important here with this recipe, what makes it so delicious is that the beef,
you have to break it up as much as you can as it's cooking, but it's also really important
that it cooks to the point where it almost becomes crunchy if that makes any sense, so
you have to give it some time.
So while that's happening, you are going to break it up as much as you can with your wooden
spoon periodically.
While that happens you're going to mix together the ingredients for your sauce, so the soy,
the oil, and I've got to get the ginger and the garlic in there along with the brown sugar,
you want to whisk this all together and then you're just going to set it aside until you're
ready for it which is not right now, but it's good to get it out of the way - oh my pepper
flakes as well.
But it's good t get it out of the way.
So I'm just going to cook my beef, breaking it apart and doing what I have to do to make
sure it's evenly distributed in the pan and it gets really crispy, delicious and almost
starts to crackle and pop.
So keep your eye on it, it can take a good ten minutes but it is well worth it.
Now this!
That is exactly what you are looking for.
I have discarded some of the fat from the pan because I don't want a lot of fat because
I don't like it swimming in grease, so I discarded some of it but this is now perfect.
Perfect time to add the sauce which is so flavorful, so delicious, and you are going
to let this simmer just for a couple of minutes and then we will be ready to serve.
That looks perfect.
I've got some jasmine rice here that I've cooked.
You just want to cook it according to the package instructions.
It smells incredible in here, you need some sesame seeds, and you definitely need some
scallions over the top for a little freshness.
Get that one in there.
Oh and it smells so good.
That sesame seed oil and the ginger together just are a match made in food heaven.
Oh my word!
That is so good.
The sauce is boss.
Like, there are just no words for it.
The beef is crispy, it's salty, it's just everything you want good food to be.
I hate to say it that way but it's the best way I can describe it.
