My keto Korean beef bowl checks all of the dinner check boxes. Let me tell you a little more about this Korean ground beef recipe. It’s super flavorful, thanks to coconut aminos, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil, plus delicious and satisfying ground beef that gets a little crispy from the stir fry sauce. Then it’s served over a bed of cauliflower rice for a full meal. Many traditional Korean beef recipes are made with sugars and rice, but you’ll love this version that utilizes simple low carb swaps. This paleo Korean beef bowl is easy and ready in just 30 minutes! You can use frozen riced cauliflower or make your own riced cauliflower.

Some frozen cauliflower rice takes a few minutes longer to cook, so you can always follow the instructions on the package. TIP: Stir fry cauliflower rice over medium-high heat. This ensures that it fries instead of steaming, reduces any cauliflower smell, and makes for a better flavor. Simply whisk some coconut aminos, beef broth, sesame oil, ground ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes together in a small bowl.

I recommend powdered monk fruit allulose blend. If you use a sugar-free sweetener, it’s best to use powdered to avoid a gritty texture. See my sugar substitute guide here for other powdered options. First you’ll brown the beef, then add more minced garlic and saute that for a minute. After you add the Korean beef stir fry sauce to the pan, it will be liquid, but will thicken up and absorb into the meat if you simmer it for just a bit. If you want to mix up this recipe a bit, try using another meat or protein.

You can really use any type of ground meat that you have or that is your favorite. Try ground turkey or chicken for a bit of a lighter meal, or try ground pork for a similar version. But not all of it is. Rice is standard in Korean food, so obviously that is out. But it’s easy to swap out for cauliflower rice. Traditional Korean beef recipes would not be keto.

The marinade usually contains a sugar of some kind and then there’s the rice that’s usually served alongside it. Which is precisely why I created this version! There’s no reason we should skip out on this flavorful Korean ground beef recipe. Yes, you can definitely make this spicy Korean beef ahead of time.
