Healthy Recipe: Korean Beef Bulgogi Bowl

Ingredients


BEEF

  • 400 g thinly sliced beef , any good quality tender cut suitable for grilling
  • 1 spring onion, green and white part separated, both finely sliced
  • 1/2 large onion, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 medium carrot , peeled, cut vertically then cut into thin slices
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil (peanut or olive oil)
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame seeds


MARINADE

  • 3 tbsp ordinary soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp grated onion
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 3 tbsp grated apple
  • 1/2 tsp minced ginger and Black pepper


Method


Blot the beef dry using a paper towel then place into a bowl. Mix together the Marinade ingredients in a small bowl, then add the beef.


Stir gently to coat the beef, cover with cling wrap and set aside to marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight if possible. Because the meat is thin, you still get good flavour even with 1 hour of marinating.


Heat the oil in a wok or large fry pan over high heat. Add the onion and white part of the spring onion. Cook for 1 minute.

Then add the beef, including the Marinade, and carrots. Cook for around 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the beef is just cooked.


Remove from heat, then toss through the sesame seeds.



Serve immediately with a serve of brown rice - or cauliflower rice if you prefer.
