GROUND - Korean Beef Bowl (Actifry)

By Unblond1

08/01/17 - This was great for both. Makes a mess of the paddle but as long as you soak it right away, it's fine.
15/11/17 - UPDATE - I used 8 ounces of ground pork and 8 ounces of ground turkey and I served it over Jasmine rice, topped each serving with some green beans that I'd roasted at 450 for about 40 minutes. VVG again (although I think this made an even bigger mess of the paddle)

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 heaped teaspoons Gochujang (if you can't find it, substitute red chili pepper flakes moistened with soy sauce and a little bit of sugar)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced or thinly sliced
• 1 (one-inch) piece ginger root, julienned
• 1 pound lean ground beef or ground sirloin
• 4 - 6 green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, to serve
• Chopped fresh cilantro, to serve

Preparation

Step 1

In a small jar, shake together brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, Gochujang and dried ginger.

Add oil, fresh ginger and garlic to ActiFry air fryer pan and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add ground beef and cook for 15 minutes. (I cooked it for about 25 minutes before adding the sauce and it was just on the edge of overdone. Try spending a little more time breaking the beef up when you put it in) Drain excess fat if needed.

Stir in soy sauce mixture and green onions until well combined, about 2 minutes.

Serve immediately, over rice, udon noodles or spaghetti noodles, garnished with additional green onion, cilantro and sesame seeds, if desired.
