10 min. Beef Bulgogi Wraps
6 hands up for seconds - what!!

New Family Favorite here!

If your kitchen has a revolving door like mine, this is easy peasy to batch cook between practices, etc. AND it's simple to modify for everyone!

Mix up the marinade and pop this in the fridge for 4+ hours or overnight. Cook a pot of rice.

When you're ready, scoop out a serving of meat, preheat your air fryer to 400F. Air fry for 10 mins.

I served these in butter lettuce cups with 1 T Jasmine Rice each & a drizzle of the reserved marinade, topped
with scallions, sesame seeds & red chili flake. Done!

You could pair with lettuce, rice, noodles, cauliflower rice, air fryer shredded cabbage, spaghetti squash, zucchini noodles - your choice!

~3 lbs. Strip Steak, sliced thin

Marinade
1/3 C Tamari or Soy Sauce
2/3 C Coconut Aminos
1 T sesame oil
2 T rice vinegar
4-5 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pear, sliced into thin strips (optional)
1 thumb sized piece of fresh ginger, minced or grated
1 T gochujang / korean chilis / red pepper flakes more or less depending on how spicy you like (I held back in marinade bc kids & added more when finishing for adults)

Reserve 2 T marinade for drizzle

Butterhead Lettuce (I used Gotham Greens)
Jasmine Rice (Optional)
Red pepper flakes
Sesame seeds
Scallions

Enjoy! 🫶🏽

Would you believe me if I told you this took 20 minutes - Start to Finish?😆

Okay, the Pickled Onions I keep around, but it only takes about 5 minutes to whip up a batch of those and they last...💜

2 C broth/water
1/2 C grits (I like Marsh Hen Mill)
1/2 t salt
black pepper
Unsweetened Dairy Free Yogurt ( I use Forager)

4-5 eggs
1 lb. Flank Steak
1 package Frontera Taco Skillet Sauce

Sliced Heirloom Tomato
Pickled Onions (Find these in my Reels)
Fresh Basil

🍳Begin by getting the grits started. While you are waiting for your broth/water to boil, lightly spray a large skillet with olive oil spray and scramble your eggs. Remove eggs from the skillet and set aside.

🤍Add your grits to boiling broth and bring back to a rolling boil for about 2 mins. Turn down to low heat & simmer for 15 minutes, stirring often.

🥩Meanwhile, Slice your flank steak into bite sized pieces, using a sharp knife and add to same skillet you used for the eggs. Saute on medium high heat for about 7 minutes, turning to brown. Add package of Skillet Sauce, stir well to combine. Turn to low heat and simmer until grits are ready. Stir 1-2 T Unsweetened Dairy-Free Yogurt into Grits. Serve with pickled onion and sliced tomatoes.
Yield 3-4 servings.
