This Keto Beef Bulgogi recipe offers a deliciously savory and slightly sweet Korean-inspired dish perfect for those following a low-carb, keto lifestyle. Featuring tender flank steak marinated in a mix of soy sauce, sesame oil, and keto-friendly sweetener, this quick skillet-cooked meal is flavorful and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Beef Bulgogi Marinade

  • 1 lb (450g) flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons erythritol or another keto-friendly sweetener
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional)

Garnish

  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, erythritol, minced garlic, minced ginger, and rice vinegar if using. Stir well to combine all ingredients into a flavorful marinade.
  2. Marinate the Beef: Add the thinly sliced flank steak to the marinade, making sure each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes; for best results, marinate overnight to enhance the flavors.
  3. Cook the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef slices in a single layer. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
  4. Serve: Serve the cooked beef over cauliflower rice or your favorite keto-friendly base. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and a beautiful presentation.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
  • Adjust erythritol quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
  • Thinly slicing the flank steak aids in quick cooking and better marinade absorption.
  • Marinating overnight intensifies the flavors and tenderizes the beef.
  • Serve with cauliflower rice or steamed vegetables to keep it keto-friendly.
