Every week I try my hardest to meal prep and make sure I have lunches and some dinners ready to go and ready to eat. But of course, that’s not realistic every single week… So one of my favorite lunches to grab near my day job office when I didn’t make anything to bring with me is a killer steak salad. It’s simplicity is really what got me. But the more I started getting this salad, the more I realized I should just make it myself at home! And here is is: the Ultimate Steak Salad.
This summer I have been eating so many salads. I eat some variation of a “salad” nearly everyday for lunch. When made right, they are enjoyable, filling, nourishing, energizing, and delicious! I have probably made this a half dozen times in the last couple months – it’s so good. You’re going to love this Thai Noodle Salad with Cilantro-Lime Steak.
I grew up eating meat jun all the time. Never in the home, but man oh man was it aways at least half of my Korean plate lunch that I’d get as a splurgy lunch. (The other half as usually kal-bi). Pile this up along side heaps of white rice, a ton of banchan (kimchi, panjeon – veggie pancake, and those vinegary potatoes for me please!) and it is basically my dream lunch. But what to do when there isn’t any nearby? Make homemade meat jun!
I’m pretty sure that if I could only eat one type of cuisine for the rest of my life, it would be Korean. The balance of sweet, salty, vinegary, meaty, vegetabley, crisp and light and rich and succulent flavors make my mouth water. And the banchan? *swoon* I have made beef bulgogi a few times, and I have usually altered recipes based on what I had in my pantry. However, I do think that this meat marinade is my favorite thus far. If you’re craving a refreshing bowl of Korean goodness, these Korean beef bulgogi bowls are for you!
