This Korean BBQ Beef Stir-Fry is a high-protein, lightning-fast take on classic bulgogi flavors, tailored for speed and nutrition. Flank steak soaks up an umami-rich marinade with a hint of spice from gochujang, then gets stir-fried at high heat for caramelized edges and juicy tenderness. Crisp broccoli, sweet bell peppers, and onions bring crunch and color, while cauliflower rice keeps the meal light and low-carb. Finished with nutty sesame oil and a scallion-sesame sprinkle, this dish is perfect for a protein-packed, weeknight dinner that satisfies both your taste buds and your macros.
Ingredients
Instructions
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, gochujang, garlic, ginger, honey, and cornstarch. Add sliced flank steak and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 10 minutes while prepping veggies.
Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add neutral oil. When shimmering, add marinated beef in a single layer. Sear undisturbed for 1 minute, then stir-fry for 1-2 more minutes until just cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
Add broccoli, bell pepper, and onion to the pan (add a splash of water if needed). Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
Return beef and any juices to the pan. Toss everything together for 1 more minute. Drizzle with toasted sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Serve immediately over steamed cauliflower rice. Garnish with sliced scallions.
