Citrus-Marinated Beef Kelaguen with Soy and Green Onions
Beef Kelaguen is a Chamorro classic from Guam—tangy, peppery, and bursting with citrus-bright beef. This Oceanic dish is naturally gluten-free and features thinly sliced flank steak “cooked” in lemon juice with soy, chiles, and green onions. The flavor profile is zesty, savory, and lightly spicy, great for rice bowls, lettuce wraps, party platters, or as a protein for salads and tacos.
