Ingredients

• 1 pound beef ribeye or sirloin
• 0.25 cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a soy-free option)
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Swerve sweetener (or your favorite keto sweetener)
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• 4 stalks green onions, sliced thinly
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
• 1 cup zucchini, sliced (optional)
• 8 leaves romaine lettuce leaves for serving

Directions

Step 1

Start by slicing the beef as thinly as possible against the grain. Freezing the beef for about 30 minutes before slicing can make this easier.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, Swerve sweetener, minced garlic, minced ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the sliced beef to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in batches, cooking each side until browned and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 5

If using, add sliced mushrooms and zucchini to the pan and cook until tender, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 6

Toss the cooked beef with the sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 7

Serve the bulgogi hot, wrapped in romaine lettuce leaves as a low-carb wrap, or over a bed of cauliflower rice if desired.
