I love Korean food!
Now I have the perfect Beef Bulgogi recipe that will have you ordering at your keto home instead!
Pair this tender marinated steak with cauliflower rice and make this a perfect Korean Bowl!
Let’s get started!
HOW TO MAKE KETO BEEF BULGOGI
First you’ll need to slice the steak very thinly with a sharp knife.
A little trick… you can make this a bit easier by freezing the steak for about 30 minutes before slicing.
Now, in a large bowl. Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic and ginger.
Add in the thinly sliced steak and toast to coat.
You can now cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate for 2 hours.
Toss the steak with tongs occasionally to distribute the marinade evenly.
Now that you have your steak good and marinated, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the steak in 3-4 batches so you do not crowd the pan.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.
If you need too, add more oil as needed and repeat with the remaining steak.
Serve and garnish with sesame seeds.
