About this recipe

Bulgogi, one of Korea's most beloved dishes, is made in this fit version with lean beef tenderloin and a low-sugar marinade. Combined with fresh vegetables and a measured portion of rice, it delivers a high-protein, balanced meal ideal for active people.

Method

  1. 1

    Prepare the marinade by mixing soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and honey in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat a large pan over high heat and lightly grease it with a little oil.

  4. 4

    Lay the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges caramelize.

  5. 5

    Flip the beef and cook for one more minute, then remove from the pan.

  6. 6

    In the same pan, sauté the carrot julienne for 1-2 minutes.

  7. 7

    Divide the cooked brown rice between the bowls.

  8. 8

    Top with the bulgogi beef, sautéed carrot and steamed spinach.

  9. 9

    Garnish with spring onion, toasted sesame and black pepper, then serve.

Tips

  • Chilling the beef in the freezer for 20 minutes makes it easier to slice thinly.
  • For fewer carbs, swap the rice for cauliflower rice.
  • Extending the marinating time makes the beef more flavorful and tender.
