1.⁠ Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking it up as it cooks for 10 minutes. Add the onion and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened. Season lightly with salt.

2.⁠ Add the soy sauce, rice wine, brown sugar, gochujang, 1 tablespoon gochugaru, minced ginger, and sesame oil. Pour in ¼ cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer over low heat for 15–20 minutes. Add more water as needed if it evaporates too quickly. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your preference.

*Note: Gochugaru may be less spicy than crushed red pepper flakes depending on the brand. Do not substitute at a 1:1 ratio. If using crushed red pepper flakes, simply add to taste.
