Ingredients

• 1 pound Ribeye steak or sirloin
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Erythritol or your choice of low-carb sweetener
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, for garnish
• 12 leaves Lettuce leaves, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Place the ribeye steak or sirloin in the freezer for about 20 minutes to make it easier to slice thinly.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, erythritol, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Remove the steak from the freezer and slice it as thin as possible against the grain. Aim for slices that are about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 4

Marinate the beef slices in the mixture for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef along with the sliced onion and cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped green onions and cook for an additional minute.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked bulgogi to a serving platter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 8

Serve the bulgogi wrapped in lettuce leaves for a low-carb option.
