Ingredients
- 450 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 15 ml sesame oil
- 15 ml apple cider vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 small pears, grated
- 4 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 240 grams jasmine rice
- 150 grams spinach leaves
- 2 medium carrots, julienned
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Begin by rinsing the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Place the rice in a pot with 480 ml of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 18 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, grated pear, green onions, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine all the marinade ingredients.
Step 3
Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let the beef marinate for at least 15 minutes. For best results, marinate it for up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Step 4
While the beef is marinating, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the spinach leaves and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until just wilted. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add julienned carrots and sliced red bell pepper. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 6
Returning to the marinated beef, heat the skillet over high heat. Add the beef along with the marinade and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
To assemble the Bulgogi Beef Bowl, divide the cooked jasmine rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with the sautéed spinach, carrots, and red bell pepper.
Step 8
Spoon the cooked bulgogi beef over the vegetable-topped rice.
Step 9
Garnish each bowl with sesame seeds and additional chopped green onions if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious sugar-free Bulgogi Beef Bowl.
