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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil or avocado oil.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Remove the cooked beef and set it aside. Repeat the process with the remaining slices.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve hot, accompanied by a side of vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete Paleo meal.
