  • 3 tbsp all-purpose soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp gochujang (adjust for spice preference)
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds, plus extra to garnish
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil or neutral oil
  • 500 g (1 lb 2 oz) minced (ground) beef

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, gochujang, rice vinegar, and sesame seeds to create the stir-fry sauce.
  2. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Pour in the stir-fry sauce and simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  3. In another bowl, mix mayonnaise with gochujang, sesame oil, and vinegar to make the drizzle.
