Brown 1 lb ground beef in a hot skillet, breaking it up, until no pink remains; drain excess fat.

1 minuteFinish with sesame seeds and serve over rice.
Chef's tip
Cook the beef in a wide, very hot skillet without crowding so it browns and caramelizes instead of steaming in its own juices.
Suggested pairing
A lightly chilled Riesling balances the salty-sweet sauce.
