The past week or so, I have been feeling super stressed out. Mostly, I feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to do everything I need or want to do. I have been trying to find time to step away from the computer – even for just a few hours everyday. I’m trying to find the balance between everything because I am seriously on the verge of burning out.
I made a conscious choice this past weekend to start taking care of myself. I know it sounds like a stupid thing to even have to think about. For me, it’s been too easy to find excuses as to why I don’t get enough sleep …. why I don’t exercise … why I’m always crabby …. and I’ve had it. Had. It.
While I’m not exactly sure what all of that means yet, I know it means it’s time for some changes …..
Because I only have so many hours in a day and I have been feeling super stressed out, I have needed to rely on my arsenal of quick and easy dinner ideas! Seriously y’all … dinner doesn’t get any faster or easier than this Korean Beef recipe! With just a handful of ingredients and 20 minutes, you can have this amazingly simple, yet delicious dinner on the table!

I give up… I was just going to copy paste your recipes but there are too many that look good so I've followed you on pinterest and will be trying this tonight.
This looks tasty and so easy! Am seriously going to make this!
Made this tonight and it was so delicious meal was easy to make and time friendly thank you !
This was awesome! We added some steamed broccoli and sautéed mushrooms and onions. Made it twice this week!
Hi, just a quick comment, love the dish, for my family to serve we had spicy noodles and lettuce cups….and rolled the mince noodles in crispy lettuce cups….delish.
This is such a great recipe! So easy, and SO delicious! I have given this recipe out so many times and everyone loves it. Thank you!
I just finished making it, my children loved it! Thank You for the recipe.
This was really good!!! I used 1 tablespoon rehydrated ginger AND a full teaspoon of crushed red pepper and it was perfect, NICE kick! Thanx Jamie for this yummy recipe – I will certainly make this again! đŸ™‚
Hi Jamie, my son is allergic to sesame what do you suggest I replace it with? How does olive oil sound?
You can omit it completely (it's for flavor) – it will only change the flavor slightly! đŸ™‚
This is delish! Making it for the 2nd time tonight and since I really love one-skillet cooking, I'm adding some veg and doubling the sauce to accommodate the extra veg. Tonight I've added fresh mushrooms, fresh chopped zucchini and a little leftover frozen broccoli. Thanks for the recipe!
