Paleo Korean Beef Bowls – delicious 20 minute meal! Spicy and sweet beef served over cauliflower rice!
I love all things sweet and spicy. This sweet and spicy Paleo Korean beef is inspired by Korean bulgogi which is a slightly sweet and slightly spicy beef dish. This is a much quicker way to do it, using ground beef that cooks in just a few minutes
If you want a more bulgogi like bowl, my Korean Beef Cauliflower Rice Bowl uses flank steak instead and is another one of my favorite.
This dish comes together in about 20 minutes. While I’m cooking, I put a bag of microwavable cauliflower rice in to cook and pull out whatever leftover veggies I have in my fridge. It’s one of my favorite easy weeknight meals.
How To Make Paleo Korean Beef
- Stir together coconut aminos, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, white parts of scallions, pepper, and chili paste
- Heat cooking oil over medium-high heat in a skillet; cook ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks
- Once beef is cooked, add sauce and simmer until thickened, about 4 minutes
- Serve topped with sesame seeds and sliced green onions
How Long Is Korean Beef Good For?
This Paleo Korean Beef is good for up to 3 – 4 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I would keep it separate from the cauliflower rice (if using) or the cauliflower will absorb all of the sauce.
Can You Freeze Korean Beef?
Yes, you can definitely freeze this Paleo Korean Beef. Make sure to wrap it tightly or use a ziploc bag with all the air squeezed out of it. Consume within 3 months.
I would defrost it overnight in the fridge and then reheat on the stove.
