Easy Korean Bulgogi BBQ Beef Bowls
These quick beef bowls are packed with sweet and spicy flavor that the whole family will love.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so comforting about a big bowl of rice topped with savory, marinated beef. These bulgogi bowls are one of my favorite weeknight meals because they come together fast but taste like you spent hours in the kitchen.
My top tip is to slice your beef as thin as possible. If you pop the steak in the freezer for about twenty minutes before cutting it will be much easier to get those nice thin strips.
