Korean BBQ Beef Stuffed Bell Peppers

Keto Recipes > Keto Dinner Recipes

When I did my Stuffed Poblano Peppers the other day, it was a love affair that I wanted to keep in the dark – but couldn’t. Peppers are a fantastic vessel for carrying delicious meat while keeping the fats inside and easy to eat. Not to mention, they add so much color and vibrancy to the plate that you just want to dig in!

Who doesn’t love Korean BBQ flavors? Sweet, spicy, sticky, and absolutely delicious to eat. The ginger, garlic, and spicy chili sauce really elevate the beef to become something you don’t want to stop eating. It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Asian style cuisine, and if you’re one too – this is a dish you don’t want to miss.

The rich egg yolks are the perfect match for the sweet and spicy Korean BBQ beef, and the perfect way to accompany the dish. Come down, get a messy face, and enjoy these Korean BBQ beef stuffed bell peppers – you won’t regret it.
