Time 2h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ pounds beef flank steak
⅓ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
4 green onions, cut in 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon sake
1 tablespoon sesame oil
4 teaspoons white sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons grated ginger root
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
4 cups hot cooked short-grain rice
½ English cucumber, sliced
1 head Boston lettuce, separated into leaves

Steps:

  • Freeze beef partially, until firm, about 1 hour. Slice across the grain into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Combine 1/3 cup soy sauce, green onions, sake, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, sugar, garlic, ginger, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add beef; toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until sauce flavors are absorbed, 1 to 3 hours.
  • Stir gochujang, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil together in a bowl.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange marinated beef on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Broil beef; stirring frequently, until glazed and dark brown, and nearly all marinade has evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Arrange cooked beef, rice, and cucumber in serving bowls. Wrap portions of each in lettuce and dip into the gochujang sauce.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef: The better the beef, the better the bulgogi will be. Look for thinly sliced ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak.
  • Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes: This will help to tenderize the beef and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a hot grill or skillet: This will help to create a nice char on the beef.
  • Cook the beef in batches: This will help to prevent the beef from overcrowding and steaming.
  • Don't overcook the beef: Bulgogi is best when it is cooked to medium-rare or medium.
  • Serve the bulgogi with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include lettuce wraps, rice, noodles, and kimchi.

Conclusion:

Beef bulgogi lettuce wraps are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a party. The beef is marinated in a flavorful sauce and then grilled or pan-fried until tender. It is then served in lettuce wraps with your favorite toppings. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
