It happened like this: The ground beef was supposed to be for a luscious Bolognese or yummy meatballs. Maybe I was going to lay them under fluffy buttery potatoes for shepherd’s pie. But then the sink was still full of dirty dishes, the kitchen counter a mess, and we were all hangry. That’s how this caramelized beef was conceived—it’s a rich-in-flavor and weeknight-friendly dinner that cooks in under 10 minutes! If you have a Microplane grater, you don’t even need a cutting board or a knife. Grate the ginger and garlic right over the pan. 

I’ve riffed on this with ground pork, turkey, and chicken. Even crumbled (firm) tofu was delicious: Break it up with your fingers, pat it dry with paper towels, and proceed. I love it most over a pile of snowy rice. It’s also perfect wrapped in lettuce leaves or sprinkled over a salad.  

Two notes: 

1. Brown the ground beef and then caramelize it with agave syrup (or any sweetener you prefer)—the sugars melt, darken, and get nutty delicious. You won’t get the dark crispy bits if the beef isn’t browned properly. It’ll still taste amazing, but texture is half the delight! The recipe includes a beef browning 101. 
2. Once the meat drops into the hot pan, it’ll cook in no time. Have all your ingredients ready!

Yields: 2 - 4 servings

Prep Time: 0 hours 5 mins

Total Time: 0 hours 10 mins

1 tbsp.

vegetable oil

1 lb.

ground beef (preferably 80/20) 

1 tbsp.

grated ginger

1 tbsp.

minced garlic, from about 4 cloves

3 tbsp.

soy sauce

2 tbsp.

agave syrup (or any sweetener you prefer)

2 tbsp.

sesame oil

Kosher salt, to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Cooked rice, for serving

Optional toppings: chopped scallion greens or cilantro, toasted sesame seeds, sliced radishes, cucumbers, red onions, or tomatoes 

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. When the oil is hot (rippling, but not smoking), add ground beef broken into small 2-inch clumps and with a little space between each piece. Don’t stir! Wait until the bottoms are dark brown and crisp, about 2 minutes. Flip and brown other side, about 2 minutes. Using the side of a spatula or large spoon, break meat apart into small pieces. Continue cooking until no longer pink, about 1 minute. 
2. Add ginger and garlic. Continue stirring for 30 seconds.
3. Stir in soy sauce and agave syrup, scraping the dark bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. 
4. Remove skillet off the heat. Drizzle sesame oil and adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with cooked rice and sprinkle with any of the optional toppings, if you’d like.
