Equipment

Method
 

  1. Marinate the beef: In a bowl, combine the ground beef, carrots, onion, soy sauce, sweetener, sesame oil, and gochujang paste (if using). Mix well—using your hands is best to really work the marinade into the meat and veggies. You can marinate it for 30 minutes to an hour (or even overnight), but if you’re in a rush, cook it right away.
  2. Cook the beef: Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil. Add the marinated beef mixture to the pan, spreading it out evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for about 8 minutes to develop a nice sear.
  3. Sauté and finish cooking: Once the beef has browned, start stirring and breaking it up. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes or until the beef is fully cooked and the vegetables are soft.
  4. Prepare the fixings: While the beef is cooking, slice the avocado, cucumbers, and green onion. Fry the eggs to your preferred doneness and get the kimchi ready.
  5. Assemble and serve: Spoon the beef bulgogi over a bowl of fresh white rice. Top with a fried egg, avocado, cucumber, kimchi, and green onion. Enjoy!

Notes

    • You can use any cuts of beef – I love using ground beef but I use thinly slices of beef as well. There's a shabu shabu pre cut beef you can get from Costco or the frozen hot pot beef works really well.
    • Sear, leave it alone – let beef get nice and brown. Try to leave it alone for 5 minutes or until it has a crisp and caramelized bottom.
