Paleo Korean Beef Bowls with a Kimchi Aioli

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I’ve been super into creating easy one pan dinners these days! This one comes together quick and tastes delicious with cauliflower rice or regular rice. Throw in whatever vegetables you want to the bowl as well and it will be a hit! I also made a super tasty Kimchi Aioli that brings the dish together! Let’s get to cooking!

The Sauce

I wanted to create a delicious sauce for the meat that had a nice balance of sweetness and spice. Some Korean food staples are Sesame oil, Soy Sauce, Kimchi, Ginger, Garlic, and Chilis. I decided to do one sauce to flavor the beef then made a Kimchi Aioli to top the dish with.

The first sauce consisted of:

  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp brown monk fruit sugar
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar

You will start off by mixing these ingredients in a bowl then setting them aside.

Now lets chat Kimchi Aioli! My best friend is Korean and I was lucky enough to grow up on Kimchi. It is so damn delicious and super healthy as well for your gut health so its a double win! You can’t have Korean food without Kimchi so I knew I wanted to create a fun sauce to drizzle on top. This one turned out tasty and its super easy to prepare!

Kimchi Aioli Steps

Grab a small blender and add in:

  • 1/3 cup paleo mayo
  • 1/4 cup kimchi
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp honey

Blend this up until everything is combined. Drizzle on top of the dish!

Korean Ground Beef Steps

Now that we got our sauces prepped, let’s get this Korean ground beef prepared.

Start off by prepping your garlic and ginger. I used 3 large garlic cloves and gave those a nice fine dice. Then I chopped up some ginger so that I could get 1 tbsp amount.

I then cut up 3 large carrots in a matchstick style. Start off by peeling the carrots then cut them in 3rds. You will then very carefully slice each piece lengthwise one or two times depending how thick they are. Then cut those pieces into thin slices. Use the picture for reference. I love cutting them this way for sautés since they cook up so nice!

Also thinly slice halve a sweet onion and set aside. Time to grab a large sauté pan and lets get to work.

Get the pan on medium high heat and add in a little avocado oil. Brown 2 lbs of ground beef and once browned, remove from pan and drain the fat. Add in a little more avocado oil and add in the carrot and onion. Season with a nice pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 8 min.

Remove from pan and add to the same bowl you put the beef in. Add in a little more avocado oil and reduce heat to medium. Add in the ginger and garlic. Cook for 1 minute. Add in the sauce and stir for 1-2 minutes. Add the beef and carrot/onion mixture back to the pan and mix up. Add in a slurry consisting of mixing up 1 tsp potato starch + 1 tsp water in a small bowl. Stir for an additional 1-2 minutes and drop heat to low. Let this simmer for a bit and it will begin to thicken. That’s a wrap!

Serve this with some green beans and cauliflower rice for a delicious Paleo Bowl! Throw an egg on top if you are getting a little crazy and living your best life! Top with that delicious Kimchi Aioli and get ready to sit back and enjoy this tasty easy dinner!
