Korean Bulgogi Beef Bowl
Seoul food, straight to your soul. 😏
Weeknight Lore
Sweet-savory ground beef bulgogi over garlic-cilantro-lime rice — the kind of bowl that makes Tuesday feel like takeout night, minus the takeout receipt (or the takeout macros).

The Numbers Up Front
Total Cooked Yield: ~14 oz / 395 g bulgogi beef mixture (from 1 lb raw 93% lean ground beef + veg + sauce)
That's: three generous 4 oz bowl portions
Default Bowl: 4 oz beef mixture + 2 oz rice = 6 oz / 170 g total

93% lean ground beef vs. 80/20 saves ~60 calories and 7g of fat per 4 oz — before the sauce even hits the pan. The sauce brings plenty of flavor richness on its own, so lean beef isn't a sacrifice here, it's just smart math.
