I am always looking for SOMETHING NEW to feed my family. I swear, I have never made more meals in my life!
Toddler meals 24/7 around here. So when I find something simple that uses ingredients that are normally in my pantry, I get so excited!
Enter what Ryan likes to call “sweet beef”…
It’s a very basic take on a Korean beef. Sweet, salty, and a kick of ginger. I like to pair it with some rice, usually Jasmine, and it’s a quick and easy delicious dinner.
I start by warming garlic in some oil in my skillet. Then I cook the ground beef till it easily breaks apart. 5 minutes in, I add the sauce. Then I let it simmer on low heat about 15 minutes.
Some salty cashews add a great crunch too!
