Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or any neutral oil
  • 1 small onion thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 small hot pepper finely chopped (optional)
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons red chili paste Gochujang or Sambal Oelek
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil optional
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups white rice or jasmine rice cooked
  • 4 large Eggs one per serving
  • Green onions or sesame seeds optional for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onion and peppers. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened and lightly golden.
  • Push vegetables to the side and add ground beef. Break it apart and cook until browned and cooked through. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in minced garlic and red chili paste. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add honey and vinegar, stirring well to coat the beef and veggies. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  • Drizzle with sesame oil, if using, and give a final stir.
  • In a separate skillet, fry eggs sunny-side up, leaving yolks runny.
  • Spoon rice into bowls. Top with garlic chili beef and a fried egg. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds, if desired

Notes

  • The fried egg is totally optional but adds a rich, creamy finish!
  • Leftover beef mixture can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for beef if preferred.
