Cooking A Family Favorite Recipe

I love cooking with my family, whether baking (like Daniel in this picture) or everyone coming in to help me cook this family favorite. I was trying to come up with recipes everyone would like and could eat (my husband has food allergies). I found this recipe on this site: www.justataste.com/easy-beef-bulgogi-bowls-recipe/#wprm-recipe-container-35062. We discovered in our adventure into new foods that we like a lot of Asian-style recipes.

This style of cooking is less complicated to modify for food allergies. I have had to alter this recipe somewhat due to my husband's food allergies. Please visit the link above for the original recipe and directions. I will be giving you the recipe with my modifications. This version is allergy-friendly. I will also add the brands that I use.

For the Beef Bulgogi:

1/2 cup of soy sauce (San-J GF Tamari)

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1 tablespoon of sesame oil

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

2 tablespoons minced garlic (or til the ancestors tell you to stop)

2 tablespoons minced ginger

1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots (I typically do the whole shallot)

2 pounds of ribeye or top sirloin steaks, cut (I usually use whatever is on sale, and I don't always use beef)

2 tablespoons of vegetable oil (I usually use avocado oil)

For assembling the bowls:

3 cups cooked rice (Jasmine rice or you could substitute cauliflower rice)

4 fried eggs (I typically do two eggs per person eating)

1 cup of homemade or store-bought (Sinto Gourmet Mild White Napa Cabbage)

1 English cucumber, cut into ribbons (I typically slice it)

I typically forget to marinade ahead of time. But I would say to at least marinade for 2 hrs. It will enhance the flavor. Even though I do not always marinate, it always tastes good.

You can prepare the remaining ingredients when it is time to cook dinner. Cook your rice according to the package directions. If you are substituting cauliflower rice, follow the directions on the bag. Slice up your cucumber. Fry your eggs. I typically use cooking spray instead of oil. This does cut back on some of the fat. I then give the call to say that dinner is ready. We all fix our bowls and pray together as a family.

I love finding a recipe that my family gets so excited about. My youngest tried Kimchi for the first time a few weeks ago and decided he liked it. Daniel, my oldest, said he would not try it because it smells terrible. We eat it at least once a week. It is an effortless meal to cook. It is not always easy to cook for someone with so many food allergies, but I have a lot of fun finding new recipes that my whole family will enjoy.

I hope you enjoy this recipe for beef bulgogi, a family favorite that never fails to impress. It is easy to make, full of flavor, and perfect for any occasion. You'll love the tender meat and savory sauce, whether you serve it with noodles, rice, cauliflower rice, or even on lettuce wraps. If you try this recipe, let me know how it turns out in the comments. Don't forget to share it with family, friends, or anyone who loves Korean food. Thank you for reading, and happy cooking!
