Preparation

  1. In a large skillet cook the ground beef, lemon juice and garlic breaking the meat it into crumbles over medium heat until no longer pink.
  2. In a small bowl whisk brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, red pepper flakes and pepper. Pour over the ground beef and let simmer for another minute or two.
  3. Serve over hot rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
  4. To toast sesame seeds, place seeds in a dry skillet (without oil) over medium heat. Heat, shake the pan and stir often with a wooden spoon until the seeds are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Be sure to stay close to the pan as the seeds can easily burn! Remove from heat immediately and transfer to a plate to stop cooking.
