GO MAKE THIS NOW!!! For the life of me I could not get a good picture of the meal but OMG it was amazing. Since my Mother-In-Law was so nice to bring us a whole bunch of ground beef, I have been searching the internet high and low for creative ways to cook it. As I said before, I don't cook with ground beef often and when I do I almost always make tacos. I will be honest I was nervous to make this meal. I have never heard of Korean Beef and did not know what to expect, but I decided to put my faith in all the pinners on Pinterest and try it. The sauce is sweet but not too sweet because the ginger and the red pepper flakes balance it out nicely. The recipe called for 1 teaspoon of red pepper but I only used 1/2 a teaspoon because I am a big baby about hot things. The only change I am going to make in the future is to make additional sauce in a seperate skillet to pour of the rice. We are sauce people and I think some additional sauce would make this even more amazing. I can't wait till tomorrow to eat it for lunch!
