Instructions

In a large skillet or wok, heat the beef tallow or avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and soy sauce, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
Add the sliced white onion and red bell pepper to the same skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic and chopped bok choy stalks to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the snow peas and chopped bok choy leaves. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the leaves are wilted and the snow peas are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Pour in the bulgogi marinade and stir to combine all ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the beef and vegetables.
Taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed.
Serve immediately over hot cooked white rice, garnished with fresh cilantro.
