EASY BULGOGI (KOREAN BBQ BEEF)
Most Bulgogi recipes call for crushed pear. This is for tenderizing the meat. My boyfriend's Korean mother says Coca-Cola® can also be used for the same purpose. This recipe uses very thin-sliced meat so tenderization isn't necessary. Sugar is used instead.

Steps:
- Pat the steak with paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. Transfer the steak to an airtight container.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the roughly chopped white onion, Asian pear, garlic, ginger, ½ cup brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper and blend until smooth.

- Marinate the chicken: Whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, gochujang, ginger and sesame oil in a large bowl. Add the chicken strips and mix thoroughly. Cover the bowl and marinate for at least 1 hour or (preferably) overnight.
- Make the sriracha aioli: Mix the mayonnaise and sriracha until combined. Taste for spiciness and add more sriracha if needed.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat, add the chicken and saute, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.

BULGOGI - KOREAN BBQ
Bulgogi can be thought of as the Korean national dish; I learned how to make it while studying in Seoul. The Asian marinated steak-paired with rice, lettuce and chili paste-is a simple, flavorful, and authentic Korean staple.

Steps:
- For the marinade, mix the soy sauce, sugar, sesame seeds and black pepper in a small bowl. Finely mince the garlic and scallion whites and add to the marinade.
- Slice the steak against the grain and put the slices in a large baking dish. Coat with the marinade and allow to sit, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
- For the chili sauce, mix together the gochujang and sweet miso and set aside.
- To cook the meat, heat 2 tablespoons (30ml) oil in a large nonstick skillet on high. Add half the marinated meat, leaving any excess marinade behind, and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Remove to a plate and repeat. Serve with the lettuce leaves for wrapping along with the rice and chili paste sauce.
(KOREAN BBQ CHICKEN) DAK BULGOGI RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:
- Rinse chicken pieces. Trim off excess fat. Cut each of the chicken pieces into small sizes (about 2-inch long and 1-inch wide). Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved. Coat the chicken pieces with the marinade. Marinate for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Preheat a skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken pieces, reserving the marinade. Cook until cooked through and slightly caramelized, about 2 minutes each side. (The sugar and honey in the marinade will burn easily, so watch it carefully and add the reserved marinade by tablespoon when the pan gets dry. You can slightly reduce the heat to avoid burning, if needed.)
DAK BULGOGI (KOREAN BBQ CHICKEN)
Steps:
- Peel off thigh skins by hand (if you're strong enough) or with paring knife. Trim off excess fat. Cut into one single "steak" piece working around the bone. Save smaller pieces for cooking as well. Rinse thighs under cold water while removing outer film and slime. Set aside in a large mixing bowl. Pulse the marinade ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Coat the chicken pieces with the marinade. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator or a minimum of 6~12 hours. With a skewer or toothpick, piercing the thighs for extra marinade absorption is optional. Preheat a skillet or non stick pan over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for about 15~ 20 minutes or until cooked through. To ensure fully cooked thighs, use a meat thermometer and check for a reading of 165-170°F. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with scallion strips. Enjoy! *If there is extra marinade sauce, adding near the end of cooking will give the thighs extra flavor. Do not add until the very end otherwise it will burn/char the thighs because of the sugars in the marinade.

KONA K'S BULGOGI WITH ENOKI MUSHROOMS (KOREAN BBQ)
I've tweaked several different bulgogi recipes to come up with this. The enoki mushrooms add a nice touch. You can in/decrease amount of garlic according to personal preference. NOTE -- if you want to halve this recipe, do not change the amount of sugar, vegetable oil, and sesame oil. The flavors become really off if you halve those ingredients.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients except enoki mushrooms. Mix well and let marinate overnight in refrigerator (NOTE -- if you're short on time, you can skip this overnight step, but I would recommend marinating for at least 30 minutes).
- Grill beef over medium-high heat. You might want to add some vegetable oil to the pan to prevent beef from sticking.
- When beef is almost cooked, add the enoki mushrooms. You only want to cook the mushrooms for about 2 minutes.
- Serve with white rice.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Bulgogi is traditionally made with thin slices of flank steak, but you can also use other cuts of beef, such as ribeye or New York strip. Just make sure the meat is thinly sliced against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. The longer you marinate the beef, the more flavorful it will be.
- Cook the beef over high heat. This will help to create a nice caramelized crust on the outside of the beef while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Serve the bulgogi with a variety of sides. Some popular sides include rice, lettuce wraps, kimchi, and japchae.
Conclusion:
Bulgogi is a delicious and versatile Korean barbecue dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover steak or other cuts of beef. Bulgogi can be served as a main course or as an appetizer. It is also a popular dish to serve at parties and gatherings.
