Categories     Main

Time 4h20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

800 g rib eye ((1.76 pounds) or top sirloin (or any tender prime beef cut), thinly sliced, 2mm to 3mm (1/8 inch) thickness)
1 onion ((130 g / 4.6 ounces), optional, peeled & thinly sliced)
2 stalks green onion ((55 g / 2 ounces), optional, thinly sliced)
1/2 carrot ((55 g / 2 ounces), optional, peeled & thinly sliced)
1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1 Tbsp cooking oil ((I used rice bran oil))
6 Tbsp soy sauce ((I use regular Kikkoman soy sauce))
3 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp rice wine ((mirin))
1 red apple (or asian pear (155 g / 5.5 ounces))
1/2 onion ((80 g / 2.8 ounces))
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp minced ginger
1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Blend the marinade ingredients in a mixer or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
  • Place the thinly sliced meat in a mixing bowl and pour the marinade over it. Mix them well together while gently massaging the meat with your hands. (Wearing a food prep glove is very handy here!)Add the sesame oil and mix it into the meat. (I prefer adding the sesame oil separately as opposed to mixing it in the marinade sauce. I read somewhere that the oil can prevent the other sauce getting absorbed effectively into the meat.)Cover the bowl with cling wrap (or move the marinated meat into a glass container with a lid) and marinate the meat for at least 4 hours in the fridge. (If you have more time, you can also marinate it overnight to deepen the flavour even more).
  • Preheat a skillet / bbq grill on medium high heat until well heated. Add the cooking oil and spread it well. Add the meat (and vegetables) and cook it on medium high to high heat for 3 to 5 mins (until the meat and vegetables cook to your desired doneness). Toss in the sesame seeds and stir them quickly.
  • Serve the bulgogi with steamed rice and other Korean side dishes. (refer above for more tips)

BULGOGI (KOREAN GRILLED BEEF)



Bulgogi (Korean Grilled Beef) image

Bulgogi, a Korean classic of marinated grilled beef, is easy to make and fun to eat; it's no wonder it is one of the country's most successful culinary exports. As with most Korean barbecue, the meat is seasoned with sesame and scallion, and has ripe pears in the marinade to tenderize the meat and add a characteristic sweetness. Round, pale yellow Asian pears are traditional, but Bosc pears are just fine. The meat is only half the recipe: Just as important are the crunchy vegetables, pungent herbs and savory sauces that all get wrapped together into delicious mouthfuls. Perilla is a common Korean herb in the mint family, but if you cannot find it, you can try other herbs like shiso or cilantro. Make sure to wrap your bundle tightly: According to Korean tradition, you must finish it in a single bite!

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound well-marbled, boneless sirloin, tenderloin or skirt steak
4 large garlic cloves
1 cup peeled, chopped ripe Asian or Bosc pear
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger
1 scallion, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon roasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon light brown sugar or honey
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted
Whole, fluffy lettuce leaves for wrapping, such as green leaf, oak leaf or romaine; and whole perilla leaves (optional)
Any or all of the following: hot cooked short-grain rice; long green hot peppers, sliced crosswise into 1-inch chunks; small peeled garlic cloves; carrot and cucumber spears or sticks, 1 to 2 inches long
Korean Barbecue Sauce (Ssamjang, see recipe)

Steps:

  • Wrap beef in plastic wrap or butcher paper and place in freezer for 1 to 2 hours to firm up.
  • Cut beef across the grain into thin slices. If cooking in a skillet, slices should be less than 1/8 inch thick; do not worry if they are a bit ragged. If cooking on the grill, uniform slices, 1/8-inch thick, are best.
  • In a food processor, combine garlic, pear, onion and ginger and process until very smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
  • In a bowl or sealable plastic bag, combine steak, marinade, scallion, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar and pepper and mix well. Cover or seal, then refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • When ready to cook and serve, prepare garnishes. Lettuce leaves should be mounded in a large basket or platter; small dishes can hold remaining garnishes. Keep vegetables cold.
  • If using a cast-iron grill pan or large skillet, heat over high heat. Add all the meat and its juices to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until most (but not all) of the liquid has evaporated and the meat begins to brown around the edges. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately, directly from the skillet (this will keep the meat hot). If using a charcoal or gas grill, heat to high. Working in batches if necessary, place the sliced meat on the grill and cook, turning often, just until cooked through and browned, about 2 minutes. If desired, heat an empty cast-iron skillet and use as a serving dish; this will keep the meat hot. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • To eat, lay a lettuce leaf open on your palm. Add a perilla leaf (if using), a small lump of rice, 1 or 2 pieces of meat and any other garnishes on top, then dab with sauce. Wrap by lifting up the edges of the lettuce leaf, then twisting them together to make a tight bundle. Eat each bundle in one bite, according to Korean tradition.

EASY BULGOGI (KOREAN BBQ BEEF)



Easy Bulgogi (Korean BBQ Beef) image

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.

GRILLED KOREAN BULGOGI BEEF



Grilled Korean Bulgogi Beef image

I say "bulgogi", you say "pul-kogi". Truthfully, I'm not really sure how you're supposed to say it but, no matter how you say it, it's tasty. Apparently 'Bulgogi' translates as 'fire-meat' in Korean. The flavour in this dish but it's definitely not 'subtle'. You know you've had something to eat after you've had it - lots of salt, garlic and soy combine for mega-umami! I did NOT include the overnight marinating. Enjoy!

Categories     Steak

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb rib eye steak, thick cut, thinly sliced against the grain (they recommend the rib eye, it is good to have some marbling in the meat)
6 garlic cloves, minced, this is not a 'date night' dish
1/2 pear, diced (a pear? What the...?)
2 green onions, sliced
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice wine (white wine works in a pinch)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
black pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine all marinade ingredients. Add the sliced beef and marinate overnight in the fridge.
  • Grill quickly at high heat. The beef cooks very fast when it's sliced thin so don't wander away. It only takes a minute or 2 on each side!
  • Serve over noodles or rice or over greens for a delicious, Asian-style salad.

Tips

  • To make the best bulgogi, use high-quality ingredients. Look for thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak, and use a good quality soy sauce, sesame oil, and gochujang (Korean chili paste).
  • Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the flavors to penetrate the meat and make it more tender.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the beef, you can still make a delicious bulgogi by stir-frying it with the sauce ingredients.
  • Bulgogi can be cooked over a grill, in a pan, or in a wok. If you're using a grill, cook the beef over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
  • If you're using a pan or wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat and cook the beef for 3-5 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
  • Serve bulgogi with rice, noodles, or lettuce wraps. You can also add other vegetables, such as onions, peppers, or mushrooms, to the dish.

Conclusion

Bulgogi is a delicious and versatile Korean dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great dish to serve at parties or gatherings, and it is also a popular choice for everyday meals. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, bulgogi is a dish that everyone can enjoy.
