Bulgogi Style Ground Beef Bowls
(Low Carb)
Whenever I see ground sirloin (90/10 beef) on sale, I try to grab a couple pounds to freeze for the days I'm craving MEAT...real meat. It’s a lean protein, which is the best for those of us with Fibro who are helped by avoiding unhealthy foods.
When I remember to defrost it in time, this is a super easy way to make the most of it!
Bulgogi Style Ground Beef Bowls
--Serves 2 (large servings)--
𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬:
Quick Pickled Cucumbers:
• 1/2 English cucumber, sliced however thick you like
• 2 tbsp rice win vinegar
• 1/4 tsp sesame oil
• 1/8 tsp salt
Beef Ingredients:
• 1 lb ground sirloin (90/10)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, minced
• 1/2 orange bell pepper, chopped
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced
• 5 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp agave syrup
• Sesame seeds
Other bowl ingredients:
• 1- 12oz bag frozen cauliflower rice (or 2 if they're smaller)
• 1/4 tsp salt (optional)
• 1/2 avocado
• Jarred kimchi
𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝:
1. In a small bowl toss cucumbers with vinegar, sesame oil, and salt. Set aside until you are ready to eat.
2. In a large bowl combine raw ground beef with garlic, onion, and bell pepper, and green onions.
3. In a small bowl whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and agave and pour over beef mixture. Sprinkle with a little sesame sauce, then stir to combine.
4. In a large non-stick pan heat 1/2 tbsp coconut oil, or whichever oil you prefer, over medium-high heat. Cook the beef, breaking it apart, until its cooked through.
5. Microwave your cauli rice according to the package instructions. (If there is a lot of water after cooking it, sometimes I'll throw it in a dry, non-stick skillet over medium heat to dry it out. This is totally optional.) While hot, stir in the 1/4 tsp of salt (optional)
6. Divide the cauli rice between 2 pasta bowls or dinner plates. Using a slotted spoon, divide the beef among each plate. Lay along side each beef "mountain" 1/4 of the sliced avo, as much kimchi as you'd like, and half the pickled cucumbers.
*Optional garnish: Sesame seeds and extra sliced green onions
