# Instructions:

01 - Combine 2 tbsp gochujang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth. This savory and spicy sauce is key to your Shortcut Bibimbap: One Skillet Ground Beef & Veggies. Set aside.
02 - Heat 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb lean ground beef, breaking it apart. Cook until browned, then drain excess fat. Stir in 1/2 yellow onion (diced), 3 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 tbsp fresh ginger (grated). Cook for 3-4 minutes until fragrant.
03 - Add 1 cup julienned or shredded carrots, 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms, and 1 medium julienned or diced zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender-crisp. This vibrant medley enhances your Shortcut Bibimbap: One Skillet Ground Beef & Veggies.
04 - Pour the prepared gochujang sauce over the beef and vegetables. Bring to a simmer, then stir in 5 oz fresh spinach until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Ensure everything is well combined and heated through for your Shortcut Bibimbap: One Skillet Ground Beef & Veggies.
05 - Make four wells in the skillet mixture. Crack 4 large eggs into the wells. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and yolks are still runny (or to your preference).
06 - Drizzle the Shortcut Bibimbap: One Skillet Ground Beef & Veggies with 1 tsp toasted sesame oil. Garnish generously with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions. Serve directly from the skillet or scoop into bowls.

# Notes:

01 - Feel free to customize your veggies! Bell peppers, bean sprouts, or snap peas would also be delicious additions or substitutions.
02 - For a more traditional bibimbap experience, serve this over a bed of warm cooked rice. The skillet mixture is also hearty enough on its own.
03 - Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
04 - Adjust the gochujang amount to your preference. For less heat, use 1 tbsp; for more, add an extra teaspoon or two.
