Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 0.5 cup coconut aminos
- 1 medium, grated pear
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon, minced ginger
- 4 stalks, chopped green onion
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 head, separate leaves romaine lettuce
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Place your beef sirloin in the freezer for about 15 minutes to make slicing easier. Once firm, slice the beef into very thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine coconut aminos, grated pear, minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped green onions, sesame oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
Step 3
Add the sliced beef into the marinade and mix to ensure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate for 1-2 hours.
Step 4
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer, being careful not to crowd the pan. You may need to cook the beef in batches. Sauté the beef for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
Step 5
Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set aside. Repeat with any remaining beef.
Step 6
Serve the bulgogi beef in lettuce leaves for a fresh and crunchy wrap. You can also enjoy it over cauliflower rice for a hearty meal.
Step 7
Garnish with additional green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy your Whole30 Bulgogi Beef!
