Ingredients

• 1 pound ribeye or sirloin steak
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 romaine lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Slice the steak thinly against the grain, about 1/8-inch thick, for optimal tenderness.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, granulated erythritol, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the sliced beef to the bowl with the marinade, ensuring that each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and allow the beef to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the beef slices from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and place them in the hot pan.

Step 5

Cook the beef in batches to prevent overcrowding, grilling each batch for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the meat is nicely caramelized and cooked through.

Step 6

Once the beef is cooked, transfer it to a serving plate and garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

Step 7

Serve the bulgogi wrapped in romaine lettuce leaves, using them as a low-carb alternative to traditional rice or grains.
