Iron-Rich Beef Bulgogi Bowl with Spinach and Brown Rice
Thinly sliced beef marinated Korean-style and cooked through, served over brown rice with sautéed spinach and carrots.
Bulgogi's signature sweet-savory marinade works just as well cooked in a hot skillet at home as it does over a grill, and thin-sliced beef cooks through quickly and evenly — this version is cooked well past any pink, browned and juicy throughout. A side of quickly sautéed spinach and julienned carrot rounds the bowl out with color and crunch.
Beef and spinach together make this bowl a genuinely strong source of iron, which is why we've tagged it for anemia support, and the lean beef also brings a solid dose of protein. It's a satisfying dinner that comes together almost as fast as a stir-fry.
Serve over warm brown rice with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced scallions for extra texture.
