Korean Ground Beef

This is not the greatest photo and in real life this dish doesn't look super appetizing to me.  BUT I have to tell you, I was delighted with the texture and flavors.  It was delicious!  The original recipe called for it to be topped with scallions, but knowing my little ones wouldn't touch that, I substituted broccoli.

Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef
1/4 - 1/2 cup brown sugar (I like it sweet so I usually do closer to 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup soy sauce (I use low-sodium)
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced (see note)
1/2 - 1 teaspoon crushed red peppers (to desired spiciness)
salt and pepper
broccoli (or scallions)

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown hamburger with garlic in the sesame oil. Drain most of the fat and add brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, salt and pepper and red peppers. Simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Serve over steamed rice and a side of steamed broccoli (or chopped scallions).
