Low Carb Beef Bulgogi Bowls
My favorite weeknight meals are the ones that are quick, easy, high in protein, and high in healthy fats. Bonus points if they include delicious ethnic flavors like these Korean inspired Keto Beef Bulgogi Bowls. You will love this Keto Asian recipe because it comes together in no time, but the flavor packs a punch. The recipe uses 85% ground beef, which is nice and fatty. The ground beef is sauteed with diced onion, garlic, and ginger. The entire mixture is seasoned with soy sauce, plum extract, and sesame seed oil. The final dish is garnished with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onion. The seasoned ground beef is served over a bed of hot cauliflower rice. Since the cauliflower rice is already a vegetable, you can serve this as is but feel free to add other low-carb vegetables on the side.
Do I have to grate the onion, garlic, and ginger?
No, you can do a fine mince instead. However, grating the garlic and ginger will allow for more seamless integration of the flavors and also allow the flavors to be more robust. Not to mention it is a lot quicker than mincing.
What is plum extract?
The plum extract is made from green plums and is much more delicious than if you just used a sweetener. It is flavorful, fragrant, sweet, and mildly tangy. You can find plum extract at your local Asian market or on large online retailers like Amazon. If you're avoiding sugar at all costs, feel free to use sweetener instead. However, if you are on a low-carb diet the amount needed for this recipe is very small and won't affect the net carb count much.
Serving suggestion
