Korean Beef Sloppy Joes

Korean Sloppy Joes

Korean Beef Sloppy Joes made with sweet and spicy flavors with a punch of garlic that's a fun change from the classic sloppy joes.
Servings 4 sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground bison
  • 1 15oz can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 tsps sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup hoisin
  • 2 tbsps low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp sriracha
  • 2 green onions sliced thinly
  • 4 ciabatta rolls
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, mash the black beans with the implement of destruction of your choice - fork, potato masher, pastry cutter, etc.  Alternately, you could give it a couple of pulses in a food processor or a blender, but don't go overboard, you want the beans to be chunky, not a paste.

  2. In a large skillet, begin to brown your bison.  Break apart the meat as you go, but leave it crumbly.  Cook to medium done-ness, and add the beans.  Combine the meat and beans until evenly mixed.

  3. Continue to cook your bison and beans until the meat is well browned (5-6 minutes).   Add in the garlic, sesame oil, ketchup, hoisin, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and sriracha and stir together well.  You should have a mixture that's about the texture of oatmeal - wet, but it will hold it's shape on the bun for the most part.  If your mixture is too firm, you can add a water, a little bit at a time, until the sloppy joe's are sloppy enough for your taste.

  4. Toast the buns then spoon over the mixture and top with green onions.
