KOREAN BEEF

KOREAN BEEF
Olivia loves to search for new and delicious recipes.  She also loves to do what I call a "souped up" version of many recipes she finds.  She likes to fine tune them to her specific tastes and experiment with flavor combinations.  This recipe is one such find.  She made several changes from the original recipe.  She used ground turkey instead of ground beef and doubled the amount of sauce.  To make it even tastier, she added a bag of frozen cauliflower and a bag of frozen broccoli so it was a complete meal.  Being a person who likes easy and efficiency when cooking, I like that idea very much.

When you have a recipe that includes brown sugar, sesame oil (always warm and nutty in flavor), with garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes, I'm thinking you can't go wrong.  This beautiful flavor extravaganza served over rice, is a real treat.  Hope you like it!
