Ingredients
  

Sauce

  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari halal-certified
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar packed
  • 1 tbsp plain rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp gochugaru
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, gochugaru and pepper until the sugar dissolves.

Notes

Cool before sealing for meal prep; keeps 4 days in the fridge. Freeze the cooked beef up to 2 months. Use halal ground beef and halal-certified soy sauce.
