Korean Beef Bowl

SERVES: 4        

INGREDIENTS:

Korean Beef:

1 tbl sesame oil

500 grams- 1 kilo of 5 star lean beef mince (serving size will depend on your protein needs)

4 tbl of tamari sauce (GF soy sauce)

1 cup of sliced spring onions both light green and white parts, divided into two lots

1 tbl of minced garlic about 3 cloves of fresh garlic

2 tbl rice wine vinegar

2 tbl honey

2 tbl minced or finely grated fresh ginger

For serving:

2-4 cups of cooked rice (depending on your needs) Or use Cauliflower rice for a low carb version.

1 1/2 cups shredded carrots or cabbage & carrot dry coleslaw mix

1 large cucumber, thinly sliced

4-8 tbl of Kim Chi (to your taste)

Optional: Chili flakes as a garnish

METHOD:

1. Note: You can use microwave rice cups for this recipe or you can cook it from scratch.

   1. Get a large wok or fry pan hot. Add the sesame oil. Brown the beef for 3-5 minutes until crispy. Then add the soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Sautee for another 2 minutes.

   2. Whisk together the vinegar and honey. Pour the mixture over the beef, stirring to coat. Allow to cook on a medium heat for another 3 minutes so it goes all caramel like in the beef. While this happens prep all the other elements.

   3. Heat your cooked rice or add it cold. For #SL-BAL add half a cup per serve and for #BAL add one cup to each serve. Then add the shredded carrot/coleslaw mix next to it, then add the sliced cucumber, leaving enough room next to the rice to add the cooked beef mince.

   4. Mix half of the sliced spring onions into the beef mince and stir.

   5. Spoon in the beef mince next to the rice.

   6. Then add the kimchi and sprinkle the beef mince with leftover sliced spring onions and garnish with chili flakes to your taste.

   7. Serve hot or cold. This is perfect for meal prep and I just love eating it all mixed together.

Additional Notes: A recipe everyone will love. This meal is great hot or cold and, in my opinion, a quick and simple meal prep lunch that will stay fresh. The kids will love it and you later the macros easily to suit all needs. I personally ate the low carb version with cauliflower rice, and my husband had the balanced version with rice. If you struggle with PCOS or insulin resistance than use cauliflower rice in place of normal rice.
