    Korean Beef with Rice

    Simple is better.

    Always my motto when it comes to food, feeding my family, and in life in general.

    Life is just too short for complicated.

    And my boys are too hungry and antsy right before dinner for complicated.

    So easy and simple.

    This is a ground beef skillet meal with an easy homemade Korean sauce using fairly common ingredients – sesame oil is used in this recipe…but I think that should be a staple in every home chef’s pantry 🙂

    Bring it all to bubbling and then stir in a cornstarch slurry, if you want to thicken it. To make a slurry, mix equal parts water and cornstarch in a tiny bowl and then swirl it into the sauce. Let simmer over low heat and the sauce will thicken in a few minutes.

    Enjoy!
