Korean Beef Bulgogi Bowl with Rice and Green Onions

Korean Beef Bulgogi Bowl with Rice and Green Onions

Bring the flavors of Korea to your kitchen with this Beef Bulgogi Bowl —a classic comfort dish made simple. Thinly sliced beef flap meat is marinated in a savory blend of coconut aminos, sesame oil, garlic, and Pluck seasoning, then grilled until tender and juicy. Served over jasmine rice and topped with a reduced bulgogi sauce, this dish is equal parts comforting and exciting. Whether you keep it traditional or try low-carb swaps like cauliflower rice or lettuce wraps, it’s a versatile recipe you’ll come back to again and again.

Ingredients

FOR BOWL

  • 3-1/4 lb grass-fed beef flap meat
  • 2 Organic green onions, sliced

FOR MARINADE

  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 10 oz coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp garlic paste
  • 1/4 clove sesame oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp Pluck seasoning, of choice

Directions

Step 1

Combine the marinade ingredients and cover the beef. Marinate in the fridge for a minimum of half an hour and up to overnight.

Step 2

Reserve marinade. Put into a saucepan.

Step 3

Put beef on the grill and cook until desired doneness.

Step 4

While the steak is cooking, reduce the sauce down until thicker and reduced to about half.

Step 5

When steak is done, thinly slice it.

Step 6

Serve over jasmine rice along with sliced green onions and desired amount of sauce.

Step 7

Optional: sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Note:

  • While this dish is typically served over white rice, you could alternatively serve it over fried cauliflower rice or as a wrap (using fresh, fluffy lettuce) for lower carb substitutes.

  • If you have a Traeger grill, I recommend cooking steak that way for extra flavor and richness that pairs nicely with the bulgogi sauce.

  • If you want a little more spicy-sweet kick, try adding in a teaspoon or so of Gochujang to the marinade. This fermented chili paste goes well in bulgogi sauce for those who want an added level of spice.
