Straight to the top of my favourite quick way to use beef mince – Korean Beef Bulgogi Rice Bowls! Using ground beef rather than pricey steaks with an authentic marinade, this has all the flavour of real Bulgogi at a fraction of the cost. I’ve made rice bowls, but you can also do noodles, wraps, burritos or tacos (so trendy!).
Korean Bulgogi – the easy way!
I pride myself on finding interesting-crazy-tasty-but-quick ways to use mince. It’s just such a shopping trolley staple – economical and versatile, but sometimes the most appealing thing to me is that there is no meat slicing. Is it shameful for someone who makes a living sharing recipes to admit that? 😅
Bulgogi, for those new to it, is one of Korea’s most famous food exports, a marinated BBQ beef dish grilled over charcoal or tabletop BBQ until caramelised and smoky. The traditional BBQ way it’s served is with rice and banchan on the side (side dishes like kimchi, pickles, spinach) or in lettuce wrap form.
Meat that tasty is delicious any way it’s served. With this mince version, you get all the flavour and fun of Bulgogi without the hassle of slicing pricey steaks into paper thin strips and no marinating time, with many ways to serve it.
