Korean Beef

I love Asian food.  Each country has their own specialties and flavors.  I've dabbled in trying to make Asian dishes only in the past few years.  I have a feeling most recipes we eat aren't truly authentic, but are still enjoyed by the family!

I recently stumbled upon this Korean Beef creation.  It's non-traditional in that it uses ground beef.  Which also makes it come together faster.  I added peppers & cabbage to the original recipe, contributing nutrients and color.  The flavor is simple and was a hit!  

Next time I will double the recipe so we have lunch leftovers.
