Hoisin Beef with Gochujang Sauce
Ingredients
For the beef:
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce I use the lower-sodium one
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon gochujang or 1 to 2 teaspoons chile paste
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon oil
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
4 garlic cloves minced
4 green onions thinly sliced
For the gochujang sauce:
3 tablespoons gochujang
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Directions
In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, gochujang, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, season with the salt, stir, and break the meat up with a spatula. Cook, turning as needed, until it is browned. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the hoisin sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, for another minute or two to let the sauce thicken.
While the meat is cooking, make the gochujang sauce. In a small bowl, stir together the gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil until smooth and well combined.
Serve over steamed white rice, with the gochujang sauce drizzled over the top, and garnished with the scallions.
