Ingredients

• 1 pound Lean beef (such as sirloin or tenderloin)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce, reduced sodium
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 Green onions, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 Bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 Carrot, julienned
• 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the lean beef into bite-sized strips, ideally about 1/8-inch thick. This is easiest to do if the beef is slightly frozen.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, sugar, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes.

Step 3

Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Allow the beef to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. A non-stick surface helps reduce the need for additional oil.

Step 5

Add the marinated beef to the pan, spreading it out in a single layer. Cook the beef for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

In the same pan, add the bell pepper, carrot, mushrooms, and 2 tablespoons of water. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-6 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked beef to the pan with the vegetables and toss everything together for an additional minute to heat through.

Step 8

Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to a serving plate.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Step 10

Serve with steamed rice or lettuce wraps as desired. Enjoy your low-fat beef bulgogi!
