# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup gochujang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Set aside; this is your signature sauce for the Shortcut Skillet Bibimbap with Ground Beef & Veggies.
02 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10) and cook, breaking it apart, until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger. Cook for 1 minute more. Remove beef and set aside.
03 -
In the same skillet, add 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms and 1 small diced zucchini. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add 1 cup shredded carrots and 5 oz fresh spinach. Cook until spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes. Remove veggies and set aside.
04 -
In the same skillet, fry 4 large eggs sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. You can do this in batches if needed. The runny yolk will be a delicious addition to your Shortcut Skillet Bibimbap with Ground Beef & Veggies. Set aside.
05 -
Return the skillet to medium heat. Spread 4 cups cooked short-grain rice evenly across the bottom. Arrange the cooked ground beef and sautéed vegetables in separate sections over the rice. This forms the colorful base of your Shortcut Skillet Bibimbap with Ground Beef & Veggies.
06 -
Cover the skillet and heat for 3-5 minutes, allowing the rice to warm through and develop a slight crisp on the bottom. Top each serving with a fried egg, a drizzle of the prepared bibimbap sauce, 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, and 2 sliced scallions.
# Notes:
01 -
For the best crispy rice bottom, let the rice cook undisturbed for an extra minute or two after covering, listening for a gentle sizzle.
02 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
03 -
Feel free to customize your veggies! Broccoli florets, bell peppers, or bean sprouts would also be delicious additions to this skillet bibimbap.
04 -
Traditional bibimbap is served with all components mixed together before eating. Break the yolk and stir everything for a harmonious bite!
