These high-protein Korean beef bowls are a quick, flavorful, and satisfying meal made with lean ground beef simmered in a garlicky, ginger-soy glaze. Served over rice with a jammy egg and fresh toppings, they’re perfect for weeknights, meal prep, or post-workout fuel.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 4 large eggs (soft-boiled or jammy style)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp honey (or sugar substitute for low-carb)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 3 scallions, sliced
  • 1 fresh chili, sliced (optional)
  • 3 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice for low-carb)

Instructions

  1. Cook rice according to package instructions and set aside.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  3. Stir in onion, garlic, and ginger, cooking until fragrant.
  4. Add soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. While beef simmers, cook eggs for 6–7 minutes for jammy yolks. Transfer to ice water, peel, and set aside.
  6. Assemble bowls with rice, beef mixture, eggs, scallions, and chilies on top.
  7. Serve hot with optional kimchi or pickled veggies on the side.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a leaner version.
  • Swap rice for cauliflower rice to make it low-carb.
  • Add sautéed veggies like broccoli, zucchini, or spinach for extra nutrients.
  • For spice, stir in 1–2 tsp gochujang or chili flakes.
  • Make vegetarian by using crumbled tofu, tempeh, or lentils.
