Teriyaki Ground Beef Bowl

1.Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

2.In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, brown sugar, mirin, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the teriyaki sauce.

3.Pour the teriyaki sauce over the browned ground beef in the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

4.In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the skillet with the beef and sauce. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

5.Season the beef with salt and pepper to taste, then drizzle with sesame oil for added flavor.

6.Serve the teriyaki ground beef over bowls of cooked white rice. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a fresh finish.
