Making the marinade Paleo + Whole30 compliant
The marinade recipe as written does contain coconut sugar, which would keep this recipe Paleo-friendly, and to keep Whole30 compliant if needed we suggest either omitting the coconut sugar or swapping it out for 1-2 dates. The marinade also gets a little natural sweetness from pear, and combined with coconut aminos, fish sauce, ginger and garlic you will find the Asian flare you love.
Give yourself the hour to marinate your beef
We don’t often make recipes where there is a long waiting period involved, but for this Korean beef bulgogi, the flavors really do get better the longer the beef marinates. We like to give it a full hour, and if you’re meal prepping you could even marinate the day before and just leave it in the fridge until you’re ready to cook dinner the next day. And we promise, the beef cooks up so fast, you won’t mind the marinating time.
How do you make this Korean beef bulgogi into a full meal?
Well, we are typically bowl meal fans around here, so we like to add some rice or cauliflower rice and greens or other veggies we have on hand. Top it with some hot sauce and call it good! More traditionally, you might serve this Korean beef bulgogi in red lettuce leaves with rice and red pepper paste. You decide! What do you think you’ll try?
