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.

Mindful eating is a practice that encourages individuals to pay full attention to the eating experience, from the moment food is prepared to the last bite. It involves being aware of physical hunger and satiety cues, savoring each bite, and recognizing the emotional triggers that often lead to overeating.
