Description

A delicious and spicy keto-friendly dish featuring tender beef marinated in Korean spices, served with a refreshing cucumber salad.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and erythritol to create the marinade.
  2. Add the sliced beef to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
  3. While the beef is marinating, prepare the cucumber salad by mixing sliced cucumber, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, and green onions in a separate bowl.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated beef until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Serve the spicy beef hot with the cucumber salad on the side.

Notes

  • Adjust the level of gochujang to control the spiciness.
  • For a more authentic flavor, use Korean sesame oil.
