5-Step Japanese BBQ Beef Bowl
Take a step outside of your usual ground beef routine with this easy and delicious 5-step dish. The ginger really comes through while the serrano pepper offers up a perfect mouthful of heat, and neither of them overpower the other. The Bachan’s Japanese Barbecue Sauce and Sriracha mayo give it a flavor you’ll crave again and again. It’s one of those dishes where every bite is an experience and the best part is the ingredient list is not hefty.
