Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, gochujang, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger. Mix well.

Add Vegetables: Add bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli to the skillet. Stir-fry with beef for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender but crisp.
Adjust Seasoning: Taste and add more soy sauce or gochujang if desired.
Serve: Divide cooked rice among bowls. Top with beef and vegetable mixture. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Enjoy: Serve warm and savor the delicious Korean-inspired flavors.
