Ingredients

1 ½ pounds lean ground beef or ground chuck
4-6 whole garlic cloves minced
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup orange juice see notes below
½ cup brown sugar
3-4 cubes minced ginger frozen, from Trader Joe's
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 squirt sriracha sauce more or less, to your taste
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 bunch green onions sliced, for garnish
1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

Cook ground beef over medium-high heat until cooked through. Drain grease.
Combine garlic, soy sauce, orange juice, brown sugar, minced ginger cubes, sesame oil, sriracha sauce, and cornstarch in a bowl or glass measuring cup. Mix well.
Pour over ground beef, stirring to combine. Lower heat to simmer and cook 5 minutes.
Serve over cooked rice with steamed or sauteed veggies.

Notes

You can use pineapple juice in place of orange juice. I have not tried it 1/2 and 1/2 yet but I think I will for next time. We liked it with the pineapple juice just watch out since the sugar content is higher and can scorch. We love this served over sticky rice with sauteed veggies and sprinkled with green onions and sesame seeds.
