Take one pack of 90 lean ground beef from Costco's freezer section.

Add a couple of tablespoons of minced garlic to the ground beef while cooking.

In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 2 teaspoons sesame oil.

Add 1/4 teaspoon each of black pepper, red pepper flakes, and ground ginger to the bowl and whisk together.

Start cooking the ground beef on medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks.

While the beef cooks, bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a pot for the rice.

Add 1 cup of rinsed rice to the boiling water, cover, and set a timer for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, turn off the burner and set another timer for 10 minutes without lifting the lid.

Once the beef is browned and the rice is done, add the marinade to the cooked ground beef and let it simmer.

Fluff the rice after the second timer goes off and build your bowl with rice on the bottom and flavored beef on top.

Top the bowl with snipped green onions using kitchen shears.
