# Instructions:
01 -
Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb lean ground beef, season with salt and black pepper, and cook, breaking it up, until browned. Drain excess fat. Add 1/2 yellow onion, 3 cloves garlic, and 1 tbsp fresh ginger; cook for 3-4 minutes until fragrant.
02 -
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup gochujang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp packed brown sugar, and 1 tsp sesame oil. This spicy-sweet glaze is key to the vibrant flavor of your Shortcut Bibimbap: One Skillet Ground Beef & Veggies.
03 -
Return the skillet to medium heat. Stir in 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms and 1 cup shredded carrots with the beef mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Then, add 2 cups fresh spinach, stirring until just wilted.
04 -
Pour the prepared gochujang glaze over the beef and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and flavors to meld for your Shortcut Bibimbap: One Skillet Ground Beef & Veggies.
05 -
While the beef mixture simmers, heat a separate small non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry 4 large eggs to your desired doneness (sunny-side up is traditional for bibimbap). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
06 -
Divide 4 cups warm cooked short-grain white rice among four bowls. Top each with a generous portion of the Shortcut Bibimbap: One Skillet Ground Beef & Veggies mixture from the skillet. Place a fried egg on top of each serving. Garnish with 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 thinly sliced scallions.
