Midweek Dinner: Korean Beef

I love meals that go together in a snap, especially during the work week.  Some days are just very tiring.  On others the hub's schedule gets jerked around, so quick and easy is also fast and flexible.

I've mentioned Six Sisters Stuff  before.  I have never tried a recipe off their site that has been bad.  I first found them on Pinterest.  Then I started following their blog.  Now I follow their Facebook page.  Not everything they do appeals to me but the ones that do (dinners and desserts alike) have all been fabulous.

This Korean Beef recipe is no exception.  Its absolutely fantastic!!

The only swap ... splenda brown sugar.  Yep that's it.  Everything else is legal!!!  I did put the green onions in with everything else instead of sprinkling on top.  I wanted them to cook a little. But otherwise I followed the recipe as written.

I have also noticed that I can do a little more spiciness in my food now.  I made it with 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes but that was plenty of heat for me.

I made rice for the hubs.  For me, instead of rice I grated 2 cups of cauliflower with a cheese grater and toasted it in a dry saute pan over medium heat.

Seriously it was super fast,  sweet and spicy, and very filling.

Great for a weeknight.  great for any night :)
