Description

Imagine sinking your fork into a bowl brimming with savory, Korean-inspired flavors. This Bulgogi Beef Bowl recipe transforms simple ingredients into a deeply satisfying and nourishing meal, ideal for a quick weeknight dinner. We start with ground beef, browned to perfection and infused with the aromatic foundation of diced onion, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger.

As the beef cooks, these aromatics meld together, creating a symphony of scents that fills your kitchen. The grated garlic and ginger ensure their flavors are evenly distributed throughout the meat, providing a robust and vibrant taste in every bite. The magic deepens with the addition of soy sauce, which lends a salty, umami-rich base to the dish.

A touch of plum extract introduces a unique element – a fragrant sweetness with a subtle tang that perfectly balances the savory notes. Finally, a drizzle of sesame seed oil adds a nutty aroma and a layer of complexity that elevates the entire dish. The beef is cooked until tender and juicy, absorbing all the flavors of the marinade, resulting in a truly unforgettable taste.

Served over a bed of fluffy cauliflower rice, this dish offers a lighter alternative to traditional rice, allowing the rich flavors of the beef to truly shine. The cauliflower rice provides a neutral base that complements the boldness of the bulgogi, creating a harmonious balance of textures and tastes. A sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds adds a delicate crunch and visual appeal, while a scattering of sliced green onions provides a fresh, vibrant finish.

This Bulgogi Beef Bowl is incredibly versatile. Enjoy it as a complete meal, or customize it with your favorite low-carb vegetables. Roasted bok choy, with its slightly bitter and earthy notes, makes an excellent accompaniment.

Creamy slices of ripe avocado add a touch of richness and healthy fats, further enhancing the overall experience. With its delicious blend of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors, this Bulgogi Beef Bowl is sure to become a new favorite in your dinner rotation, offering a delightful taste of Korea in every spoonful.

Instructions

    1.
    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the avocado oil and swirl the pan. Add in the ground beef and begin to break it up with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
    2.
    While the meat is still raw, grate in the onion, garlic, and ginger. Mix well with a wooden spoon to incorporate the aromatics. Cook the beef halfway through.
    3.
    Once the aromatics are mixed in, add the soy sauce, plum extract, and sesame seed oil. Continue cooking the beef until it is fully cooked and glazed with the liquids.
    4.
    While the beef is cooking, heat the cauliflower rice according to package directions or according to the recipe above. Divide the cauliflower rice between the four bowls. Once the meat is cooked fully, top each bowl with ¼ of the beef mixture. Top each bowl with toasted sesame seed, sliced scallions, and sliced cucumbers. Serve immediately.
