Step 1
In a bowl whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, sesame oil, crushed red pepper flakes, ginger, scallions, and sesame seeds until well combined. Taste test and adjust as needed.

Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring often until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the ground beef and use a wooden spoon to help break it up into pieces. Cook, stirring often until browned on all sides, 3-5 minutes. Drain off any excess fat and then add the sauce ingredients to the pan. Simmer for about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro. Serve the beef over noodles or grain of choice and enjoy.
