Equipment

Mixing bowl
Whisk
Ziplock bag or marinating bowl
Skillet or griddle

Ingredients

1.5 pounds sirloin steak, thinly sliced
¼ cup soy sauce gluten-free, if necessary
2 tablespoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener of choice
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ginger, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste
1 tablespoon Gochujang paste ensure it's sugar-free for keto
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon avocado oil for frying, optional

Instructions

Begin by preparing the marinade. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, erythritol, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, red pepper flakes, and Gochujang paste. Whisk until the erythritol is fully dissolved and the ingredients are well blended.
Place the thinly sliced sirloin steak in a large ziplock bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring each piece is coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
Once marinated, heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. If needed, add avocado oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the beef from the marinade, shaking off excess liquid, and place it in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the edges are slightly charred and the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Serve the cooked Bulgogi garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Adjust the level of heat by increasing or decreasing the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your preference. For an authentic touch, try grilling the beef over charcoal to impart a smoky flavor. Ensure that the Gochujang paste used is sugar-free to keep the dish keto-friendly.
