I really like ground beef. It's cheap, readily available, and very versatile. When you buy vacuum-sealed packages, it lasts for quite a while too. It also freezes easily and thaws well.

So I always have a few packages in the fridge or in the freezer. I mostly use them for easy everyday recipes such asgrilled hamburgers, meatballs in tomato sauce, cheeseburger casserole, and keto meatloaf.

You'll only need a few simple ingredients to make this tasty ground beef recipe. The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below. Here's an overview of what you'll need:

Easy Beef Bowls • Salt & Lavender

Making this Korean ground beef recipe is easy! Scroll down to the recipe card for detailed instructions. Here are the basic steps:

It's more of an interpretation of the classic recipe. Truth be told, I've never seen ground beef in a Korean barbecue restaurant.

But this recipe does feature a wonderful combination of Korean-inspired flavors and textures. And the sauce mixes really well into the crumbly meat. This means you don't need to marinate the beef prior to cooking.

Creamy Beef And Broccoli Penne

Use spices! It's actually easy to flavor this meat because of its crumbly texture - the seasonings you add easily mix in.

In this particular recipe, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce add wonderful flavor. In other recipes (such as these spicy meatballs), I use spices such as chili powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano.

I like to serve this dish on a bed of cauliflower rice. If you don't mind the carbs, rice would be a natural choice, obviously.

Easy Ground Beef Stir Fry

You can keep the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat them gently, covered, in the microwave at 50% power.

And–BONUS–it’s gluten-free, and Whole30 approved!

I’ll always have a soft spot for something that takes a bit more time and effort (like slow-simmered soups or stews, or a fancy dessert), but most days we’re eating meals that are fairly straight-forward and simple.

That never (EVER!) means we sacrifice flavor, and this healthy beef and broccoli stir-fry recipe is one of those dynamite recipes that hits all my favorite criteria–fast, healthy, easy, and delicious.

Easy Korean Ground Beef Recipe

Thinly sliced beef gets dredged in a little bit of arrowroot (or cornstarch, if you’re not paleo/don’t have it), and a super-quick sear in the pan. Paired with tender, delicious broccolini (or broccoli), and a five-ingredient sauce, the flavor combination is magic. I love when I can coax as much flavor as possible out of a short ingredient list. Here’s what you need to get started:

The beef stays tender, the broccolini is cooked just enough, and the savory sauce ties everything together. Serve this with a side of fresh pineapple, and some rice or cauliflower rice, and dinner is done!

*THIS RECIPE HAS BEEN UPDATED* Right when I released it, the proportions were a bit different and several of you mentioned that it was too salty. I re-tested it and adjusted the amounts accordingly, so it’s better! That said…

Moist Ground Beef Recipe (step By Step Video!)

GO LOW SODIUM. Whether you use soy sauce, tamari, etc. I always suggest using low sodium sauce. If you use regular soy sauce/tamari, it can get too salty. If you can’t find low-sodium sauce, you can add less soy/tamari, or add a little more water to dilute it a bit. (I haven’t found this to be a problem with coconut aminos.) Also note that for this to be Whole30 compliant, you will want to stick with coconut aminos.

WHAT KIND OF STEAK DO YOU USE FOR BEEF & BROCCOLI?The big thing here is something fairly lean. I tend to buy either top sirloin steak or loin tip steak. The thinner you slice it, the faster it cooks and the better the dish. (Remember it only takes 60-90 seconds per side to cook through!)

WHY BROCCOLINI? CAN I USE REGULAR BROCCOLI?I’ve been on a broccolini kick because it’s so tender–even the stems! I don’t have any waste, and the flavor is a little bit more mild. I’ve also made it with regular broccoli florets with great results. Use whatever you can find or what’s on sale!

OTHER VEGGIES TO TRY. Not digging broccoli? No problem! Try snow peas, snap peas, bell pepper strips, carrots or mushrooms. It’s all good.

A TIP ABOUT USING ARROWROOT VS CORNSTARCH. One thing that can make arrowroot a bit trickier to work with is that if you boil something too long with arrowroot in it, it actually loosens back up and thins out again. If you’re an absolute beginner cook, you may find cornstarch easier to work with, but if you’re fairly comfortable in the kitchen, it’ll be no problem if you follow the directions.

A takeout favorite gets a healthy makeover! This dish is easily paleo or gluten free, and comes together in no time! (See notes for Paleo/Whole30 tips!)
