Ingredients

  • ¾ lb ground beef
  • 2.5 tbsp gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 whole eggs

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. 2

    Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, stirring constantly until no pink remains, 5–6 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add gochujang and soy sauce, stirring until beef is evenly coated and sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Transfer beef to a small bowl and wipe out skillet with a paper towel.

  6. 6

    Add a little oil to the skillet and crack both eggs in; cook until whites set but yolks jiggle, 3–4 minutes.

  7. 7

    Divide rice between two bowls and top with beef, then slide an egg onto each.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately with extra soy sauce and gochujang on the side if desired.
