Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ribeye steak
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 4 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons erythritol
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 stalks green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 8 leaves lettuce leaves
• 2 tablespoons neutral oil (like avocado or canola)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by freezing the ribeye steak for about 30 minutes. This will make it easier to slice thinly.

Step 2

While the steak is in the freezer, prepare the marinade. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, erythritol, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, and the white parts of the green onions (sliced).

Step 3

Take the partially frozen steak out of the freezer and thinly slice it against the grain into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring every piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the neutral oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until the beef is seared and cooked through.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked beef to a serving dish. Garnish with the sliced green parts of the green onions and serve the beef in lettuce leaves as wraps for a low-carb option.

Step 8

Enjoy your Low Carb Bulgogi Beef hot, perhaps with a side of kimchi or pickled vegetables for added flavor!
