Korean Ground Beef Stir Fry is incredibly easy to make and has the best flavor! This is a recipe that my kids beg me to make every single week!
Korean Ground Beef Stir Fry
There is one thing that I can count on all of my kids to eat and it is this recipe for Korean Ground Beef Rice Bowls. In fact, my cute ten year old makes it for the family each week. I decided to switch it up a little when we made it this week and turn it into a stir fry! Let me tell you. This was so incredible with fresh veggies added. The sauce is the absolute best on this and it makes the flavor out of this world good. We are reminded every single time that we make it why it is a favorite at your house. I know that it will become a favorite at your house, and if my ten year old can make it, you can too!
How do you make stir fry?
- In a large skillet cook the ground beef and garlic breaking it into crumbles over medium heat until no longer pink. Remove and set aside on a plate.
- Drain the grease and add olive oil and veggies and cook until tender. Add the ground beef back to the skillet.
- In a small bowl whisk brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, red pepper flakes and pepper. Pour over the ground beef and let simmer for another minute or two.
- Serve over hot rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds
We used our families favorite vegetables in this which include sugar snap peas, carrots, red bell pepper, zucchini and mushrooms. You can always customize this to your families taste and preference. I love making a meal in one that is packed with delicious and fresh vegetables.
What vegetables are good in a stir fry?
- Broccoli
- Yellow or White Onion
- Water Chestnuts
- Baby Corn
- Asparagus
- Bok Choy
- mung bean sprouts
What’s the best pan for stir fry?
I often use my ceramic nonstick wok from Greenpan, which you can get on Amazon for about $55. For more great options, check out my list of the best stir fry pans, which also includes some heavy-duty enameled cast iron skillets, like this one from Lodge which you can buy for around $60.

Absolutely delicious!!
Made this last night and it was excellent. Love that you can use veggies of your choice. I think it even tastes better the next day after sitting in the sauce all night. Thanks.
This recipe is amazing! This was my first time making beef pot pie and it exceeded expectations!!

Excellent! My husband and I really enjoyed this! We didn’t have sesame oil or seeds and it still tasted great! We ate it with linguine.
Made this with rice noodles. Veggies – snow peas, celery, mushrooms, asparagus, red pepper, scallions. Made as directed, tasted and added fish sauce and lime juice. All loved it. Will make again
No ground beef available on hand but am going to try with ground turkey & looking forward to it!
Alyssa Rivers giiiirl you did your thing with this recipe! Sooo so delicious even my picky toddler enjoyed this meal.
I can’t remember when I made this, but I gave it 5 stars on my app and wanted to let you know it’s on the repeat list. Thank you!
Delicious easy recipe! One of my husband’s new favorites!
This was soooo good! I used ground pork instead of beef, but back on the sugar and tossed in some fresh basil at the end. I’ve been sharing it with everyone.
added shrimp to meat
and less sugar. quite nice!
Excellent dish that I won’t hesitate to make again. For vegetables I used yellow zucchini, broccoli, onion, baby bok choy, green beans and corn cut off the cob – all veggies fresh from my garden or the farm next door. Served with rice. The sauce in this dish was quite ample – though I did reduce the sugar by about 1/4 less. Usually I have to double sauce ingredients but this was right on. I have enough left over to reheat for lunch tomorrow. Yummy.

Very yummy and everyone liked it! I did reduce the sugar just slightly, (I didn’t pack it and used like 1/8th to 1/4th cup less), and it was fine for us. I will definitely make this again.
Excellent recipe, my 13yr daughter’s favourite, she wants it at least once a week. Thank you for posting it, super fast and easy.
This was a very good recipe. Nice for something different than the usual chicken stir fry. My family raved about the sauce! Next time I’ll use left over filet mignon instead of the ground beef.
