Cook the beef: Add ground beef to a hot skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
14 ounce ground beef
Mix in the flavor: Stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, gochujang, sesame oil. Let everything bubble for a few minutes until thick and glossy.
4 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoon brown sugar, ¼ cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Toast the buns: While the beef finishes, toast your burger buns in a dry pan until golden.
4 burger buns
Assemble the sloppy joes: Spoon the saucy beef onto each bun, sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions, and top with the other half of the bun.
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, chopped green onions
Serve and enjoy: Eat right away while everything’s warm and messy (the best kind of dinner).
