Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds ground beef (, 85/15 fat content)
3 cloves garlic (, minced)
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup hoisin
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sriracha
2 green onions (sliced thinly)
4 brioche rolls

Steps:

  • In a large skillet add in the beef, lower the heat to medium and cook well, breaking it apart but leaving some chunks about the size of a raspberry or small grape (don't crush the heck out of it, the larger crumbles will help give the sandwich stability).
  • Cook until well browned (5-6 minutes), then add in the garlic, sesame oil, ketchup, hoisin, water, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and sriracha and stir together well until the sauce starts to evaporate and the mixture becomes "sloppy" (about 5-6 minutes).
  • Toast the buns then spoon over the mixture and top with green onions.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 seedless English cucumber or 4 small Persian or Kirby cucumbers
About 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons superfine sugar
1 tablespoon gochugaru Korean chili flakes or chili paste
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
1 Asian pear or Bosc pear
1 onion, red or yellow
4 cloves garlic
1 inch ginger root
Neutral oil, such as peanut or safflower
1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, Lea and Perrins preferred brand
1/3 cup gochujang Korean paste, Mother in Law's preferred brand
1 cup beef or chicken stock
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
4 to 6 soft large hamburger rolls, Big Marty's preferred brand
4 scallions, whites and greens, chopped
2 green chilies, fresh finger or jalapeno, or pickled jalapeno peppers

Steps:

  • Gather your ingredients.
  • For the pickles: Thinly slice the cucumber 1/4 to 1/8-inch thick. In a bowl, whisk up rice wine vinegar, sugar, chili flakes, salt and sesame oil. Add sliced cucumbers and toss.
  • For sloppy joes: Peel and grate the pear on a wide tooth of box grater. Peel and chop the onion and slice or grate the garlic and ginger.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high to high heat. Add the oil, 2 turns of the pan, then add the meats and brown and crumble. Season with salt and pepper. Add pear, onions, garlic and ginger and stir a couple of minutes to soften. Add soy sauce, Worcestershire, chili paste, stock, sugar and sesame oil. Bring to a bubble and reduce heat to simmer, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Serve beef on rolls with scallions and fresh or pickled chili peppers and quick pickles.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground beef: 80% lean or higher is ideal.
  • Brown the beef well: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
  • Drain the excess grease: This will help to keep the sloppy joes from being too greasy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the sloppy joes.
  • Simmer the sloppy joes for at least 30 minutes: This will help to develop the flavors and tenderize the meat.
  • Serve the sloppy joes on hamburger buns: Toasted buns are ideal.
  • Top the sloppy joes with your favorite toppings: Cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Korean sloppy joes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a casual get-together or a weeknight dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.
