    • Low Carb Spicy Bulgogi Beef Stir Fry

    Easy Dinner Solution

    Life is so busy…so we are all about less than 30 minute dinners. How about you?

    Low Carb Spicy Bulgogi Beef Stir Fry is one of the perfect dinners that take about 10 minutes of washing, chopping and preparing but less than 5 minutes’ to cook. You can stir fry if mother nature decides to pour buckets or grill in a grill pan on top of the BBQ grill.

    Low Carb Deliciousness

    You are just going to love this Low Carb Spicy Bulgogi Beef Stir Fry as you can use any little vegetables you enjoy and then quick marinade makes the beef extra flavorful.

    We made ourselves a huge plate of this delicious goodness and ate without guilt as all very low carb, gluten-free, dairy-free, diabetic friendly and keto friendly. You gotta love that.

    Thin Beef

    Have you ever asked for super thinly sliced beef at the grocery store? The beef is so thin, it almost looks like it has been chipped. Your butcher can really get your beef super thin and that is perfect for this recipe. This step really saves you time in the preparation of this dish. You can slice your tender cut of beef while slightly frozen to make it easier. In addition, you may also use ground beef if you desire . However, we love the texture of the thin marinated beef.

    Marinade

    We do a super quick marinade of the beef while we prepare the vegetable. It is even better if you marinade overnight in the refrigerator. We marinade with tamari sauce, sesame oil, garlic, gochujang sauce (or you can use sriracha, or chili flakes), sesame seeds and a little grating of apple. 

    Marinating beef with fruits is very common in Korea. We used kiwi as a tenderizer for our Korean Beef BBQ Kalbi.

    Gochujang is brown rice red pepper paste and is a fantastic addition to our Gochujang Fried rice with Leftover Ham. If you are not making this recipe keto friendly you can add a little dash of sweetener of choice.

    We prefer the natural seasonings for the marinade and grated Asian pear (nashi) and kiwi work well too in the marinade. We have had friends that have even used a little lemon lime soda (7 up/ Sprite) in the marinade but we are all about using fresh ingredients and no refined sugar.

    The Veggies

    Fresh ingredients are what make this recipe shine. We used a layer of fresh snow peas and bean sprouts (sprouted mung beans) on the bottom and beef, scallions and enoki mushrooms together for a delightful bite. Feel free to use any quick cooking vegetables in this recipe that your little heart desires.

    Alternative Ingredients

    If you are not doing the low carb thing then this recipe is fantastic with a little cooked rice (pad Thai) noodles or Korean Sweet Potato Noodles tossed with a little tamari – soy sauce, garlic and chilis.

    We just sat down and ate a huge bowl of this delicious Low Carb Spicy Bulgogi Beef Stir Fry . You can also prepare leaf lettuce and roll up this delicious stir fry with a little extra tamari and gochujang sauce to drizzle.
