Skip to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

This is one of my favorite meal preps, probably ever. 15 Minute Meal Prep - Korean Beef Bowl with rice. It has so much flavor and there are even ways to customize it.

Dinner doesn't get much easier (or more delicious) than this! Ground beef recipes are always a go-to for quick and easy meals, but let’s be honest—they can sometimes feel a little predictable, like tacos or spaghetti.

Enter this sticky beef recipe, which is anything but boring. Packed with flavor, a little spice, and a hint of sweetness, this dish is sure to be a hit with both adults and kids alike. Plus, it’s incredibly simple to make and perfect for busy weeknights when you need to get dinner on the table fast.

Why This Sticky Beef Recipe Stands Out:

This Korean beef recipe is the perfect balance of savory, sweet, and a little spicy. The sesame oil and chili oil give it a rich, nutty flavor with just the right amount of heat. The brown sugar adds a hint of sweetness, making it a crowd-pleaser for both kids and adults. It's not your average ground beef dinner—this dish is bursting with flavor and texture.

Tips for Making This Recipe:

  1. Customize the Heat Level: The chili oil adds a bit of spice, but you can adjust it to suit your taste. Add more chili oil for a spicier kick, or leave it out entirely if you’re serving picky eaters. I usually add sriracha over the top, when I'm ready to eat.
  2. Add Vegetables: Want to make this meal even more balanced? Toss in some veggies like bell peppers, snap peas, or broccoli while you cook the beef. They’ll soak up all that delicious sauce, adding even more flavor to the dish.
  3. Use Different Proteins: While ground beef is perfect here, you can swap it out for ground turkey, bison, pork, or chicken for a lighter or leaner option.
  4. Make it Gluten-Free: Simply substitute the soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos to make this dish gluten-free.
  5. Cut down on cook time: Try using the Minute Rice Cups of pre-cooked rice. You can heat up 1-cup portions in just one minute.

How to Store and Reheat:

Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can find more information about the meal prep containers that I recommend, HERE.

Reheating: To reheat, warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring occasionally. If the sauce thickens too much during storage, add a splash of water or broth when reheating.

This sticky Korean beef recipe proves that a quick dinner doesn’t have to be boring. The flavorful sauce combined with tender ground beef and jasmine rice makes for a meal that’s both satisfying and delicious. Whether you’re whipping it up for a weeknight meal or adding it to your meal prep rotation, this recipe is sure to become a new favorite.
