  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cups Rice

Carrots

  • 2 Large Carrots Matchstick cut
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Cucumbers

  • 1 large cucumber
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar or apple cider vinegar

Radishes, Broccoli, Green Onions

  • 10 radishes sliced
  • 1 head broccoli
  • 3 stalks green onions

Bulgogi Sauce

  • 12 tbsp gluten free soy sauce
  • 5 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 red or brown pears peeled, cored, and cut in chunks
  • 1 medium onion peeled and quartered
  • 2 tsp Gochujang sauce Add more or less depending on spice level you want
  • 4 tbsp mirin (rice wine)
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 2 tsp minced ginger

Sour Cream topping

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp Siracha
  • sesame seeds

Instructions
 

Vegetables

  • Most the vegetables can be prepared in advance. Using a vegetable peeler, peel long thin slices of cucumber until you get to the center core. Save the core for salad on another day. Mix the vinegar and sugar and add the cucumber slices.
  • Cut carrots into matchstick sized pieces. Set aside. When you begin to fry the beef, then it is time to saute the carrots. Heat sesame oil and add carrots. Fry on medium-low heat until soft.
  • Wash radishes and cut into thin slices. Slice the green onions into pieces.
    Cut Broccoli into pieces and roast at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Bulgogi Sauce

  • I cook my rice in my instant pot. Before I make my Bulgogi Sauce, I start the rice and set the pot for 10 minutes. The rice may finish before the rest of the meal, but I allow the rice to manually release. It is perfect every time.
    Add all the ingredients into your blender or food processor and blend until mixed well. Set aside.

Ground Beef

  • Add sesame and olive oil to frying pan and preheat pan. Add the ground beef and cook until browned.
    While browning meat, mix the sour cream, water and Siracha sauce. Set aside.
  • Build your bowls and enjoy.
