Cooking Instructions
Heat Skillet: Over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned.
Mix Sauce: Add soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, minced garlic, grated ginger, erythritol, and rice vinegar to the skillet with the beef. Stir to combine and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
Prepare Salad: In a separate bowl, combine the thinly sliced cucumber, chopped green onions, and optional sesame seeds. Toss gently.
Serve: Spoon the spicy beef mixture over the cucumber salad and garnish with additional sesame seeds and green onions.
Notes
Drain excess fat from the beef for a lighter dish. Serve salad fresh for best texture.
