Beef Bulgogi Pilaf

Not a bad dish, but it was really heavy and didn’t have a lot of a flavor. I would have enjoyed some more vegetables and maybe pickled onion or kimchi with it,

I actually I’m supposed to avoid onions according to my doctor . this was one of my favorite dishes to the change in ingredients.

There's nothing wrong with it. It's just the first one I didn't totally fall in love with. Just not to my taste

The family loves the hamburger steak. Adding some soy sauce to the rice and meat along with the mushroom gravy made it even better. I'm definitely ordering this one again.
