Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef ribeye or tenderloin, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup coconut aminos
- 0.5 piece pear, peeled and grated
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 pieces green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or avocado oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut aminos, grated pear, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring all slices are thoroughly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil or avocado oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef slices in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each batch for about 2-3 minutes per side or until the beef is cooked through and has a slightly caramelized exterior.
Remove the cooked beef and set it aside. Repeat the process with the remaining slices.
Once all the beef is cooked, return it to the skillet and add the chopped green onions. Stir to combine and heat for an additional minute.
Transfer the cooked beef bulgogi to a serving platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve hot, accompanied by a side of vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete Paleo meal.
