    Bulgogi is a smoky Korean barbecue dish featuring grilled slices of beef and vegetables with salty-sweet seasoning.

    If you’re craving something rich and hearty like lasagna or cheesy pizza, this is definitely a recipe to try instead: it’s different enough in taste that it won’t just feed your cravings, but still hits all the traditional “comfort food” buttons.

    Bulgogi

    Unfortunately, restaurant Bulgogi usually includes sesame oil, sesame seeds, and soy sauce: not exactly a Paleo-friendly dinner. But the heart of the recipe is really the grilled beef, so creating a Paleo version is just a matter of a few quick substitutions.

    Coconut oil instead of sesame oil and coconut aminos instead of regular soy sauce makes this meal as healthy as it is delicious.

    If you’ve never cooked with coconut aminos, they deliver the same flavor as regular soy sauce; only they’re made from coconut sap without soy or gluten. You can find them at Whole Foods next to the soy sauce or order them online.

    The perfect vegetable side for this dinner would be kimchi, a fermented Korean cabbage recipe. Kimchi is deliciously crunchy and spicy and also full of healthy probiotic bacteria; you can buy it already prepared or dive right into creating your own.

    Or simply serve the Bulgogi with a big bowl of bone broth, and enjoy a quick but satisfying meal.
