Korean BBQ Bulgogi Burritos

Directions

  1. 1Trim the 48oz top sirloin and toss it into the freezer for about 30-45 minutes to make it easier to slice thinly.
  2. 2Slice the partially frozen top sirloin as thinly as possible.
  3. 3Prepare the tenderizer by mixing 4 tablespoons of water and 2 teaspoons of baking soda in a bowl.
  4. 4Pour the tenderizer mixture over the sliced meat and mix well with your hands, soaking for about 10 minutes.
  5. 5Prepare the bulgogi marinade by blending 6 tbsp soy sauce, 4 tbsp honey or brown sugar, 3 tbsp gochujang, 2 tbsp dark soy sauce, 3 tbsp zero cal sweetener, 2 tbsp garlic purée, 2 tbsp ginger purée, 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1/2 yellow onion, and salt & black pepper to taste.
  6. 6Pour the bulgogi marinade over the tenderized beef and mix thoroughly, then cover and let it marinate while preparing other components.
  7. 7Cook the marinated beef over super high heat in a pan, ensuring a quick sear on the exterior, which takes only a couple of minutes per batch.
  8. 8Once cooked, transfer the beef to a bowl.
  9. 9Add some green onions and sesame seeds to the cooked beef and mix well.
  10. 10Prepare the creamy sriracha rice by combining 240g of cooked sushi rice, 400g of plain skyr, 50g of sriracha, a handful of chopped cilantro or green onions, and salt & garlic to taste.
  11. 11Mix all the rice ingredients until well combined.
  12. 12Assemble the burritos by evenly distributing the creamy sriracha rice and bulgogi beef across 11 burrito-sized tortillas.
  13. 13Add any other desired toppings, roll the tortillas tightly, and then toast them in a pan until lightly browned on all sides.

Tips

  • Freeze the top sirloin for 30-45 minutes to make it easier to slice thinly.
  • Use baking soda and water to tenderize the meat, a common stir-fry technique known as "velveting," which keeps the meat tender as it cooks. If an off taste is detected, rinse the meat after soaking.
  • Cook the beef over super high heat in batches to ensure a quick sear on the exterior.
  • Store frozen burritos by wrapping them in foil and reheating in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, then air frying at 375°F for 6-8 minutes, or pan-frying to crisp the tortilla.
  • The low-calorie spicy mayo can be stored refrigerated for 10-14 days or evenly distributed inside the burrito before rolling.
