We keep coming back to this comfort bowl again and again. There’s just something about it that feels so grounding, especially on days when you want something cozy but effortless.

Once bubbling, stir in the cornmeal slurry and cook until thick and glossy. 7. Add the beef and scallion greens back into the pan and toss for 1-2 minutes, until coated and the onions soften. 8.
