Korean-Style Beef Bulgogi

Slicing the beef while it's still slightly frozen is what makes paper-thin, uniform slices possible — fully thawed meat is too soft to cut that thin evenly.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs ribeye or sirloin, partially frozen
  • 1/4 cup tamari
  • 2 tbsp allulose
  • 1 Asian pear, grated (or apple)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil

Method

  1. 1

    Freeze the beef for 30-45 minutes until firm but not fully solid, then slice it paper-thin against the grain — partially frozen meat holds its shape under the knife, making thin, even slices possible that fully thawed meat is too soft to achieve.

  2. 2

    Whisk tamari, allulose, grated pear, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil for the marinade.

  3. 3

    Toss the sliced beef in the marinade and let sit at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight).

  4. 4

    Heat avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat and cook the beef in batches 1-2 minutes per side until caramelized at the edges.

  5. 5

    Garnish with green onions before serving.
