Ingredients

For the Marinade:

▢ ¼ cup soy sauce tamari for a gluten-free option
▢ 2 tablespoons erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
▢ 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
▢ 2 cloves garlic minced
▢ 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
▢ ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to your spice preference

For Beef Bulgogi:

▢ 1.5 pounds thinly sliced beef such as ribeye or sirloin
▢ 2 tablespoons cooking oil such as sesame oil or olive oil
▢ 1 small onion thinly sliced
▢ 1 green onion chopped (for garnish)
▢ sesame seeds for garnish, optional

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade:

In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce (or tamari), erythritol, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the marinade.

Marinate the Beef:

Place the thinly sliced beef in a container or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the beef, making sure it's fully coated. Seal the container or bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. For even better flavor, marinate the beef for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Cook the Beef:

Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and slightly caramelized.
Add the marinated beef to the skillet and stir-fry until it's cooked to your desired level of doneness, typically 5 minutes for thin slices.

Garnish and Serve:

Once the beef is cooked, garnish it with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your spice preference.
You can use either sesame oil or olive oil for cooking.
Feel free to customize the garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds according to your preference.
This beef stir-fry is versatile, and you can add vegetables such as broccoli, or carrots for extra flavor and nutrients.
