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.

Provided by Sue | My Korean Kitchen

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)

  • Or, grill beef in very hot gas or electric broiler.

BULGOGI - KOREAN BEEF BBQ



Bulgogi - Korean Beef BBQ image

An iconic and popular Korean BBQ beef dish. Note - be sure to add 30 minutes marinade time to the prep and cooking time. As an option, you can add sliced onions, mushrooms, bell pepper and/or carrots. The traditional method is to use a charcoal grill, using a fine mesh grate or basket to keep the meat from falling through, but you can also pan fry or use a broiler.

Categories     Meat

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb sirloin, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons light brown sugar (white sugar ok)
1 tablespoon honey (2 t sugar is also ok )
2 tablespoons rice wine (mirin or red wine works too)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon green onion, chopped
2 tablespoons pears, puree (Asian pear if available, or 1 Tbs grated kiwi or 3 Tbs onion puree work as well)

Steps:

  • Mix all of the marinade ingredients together except for the beef and any optional vegetables as mentioned in the description.
  • Add the beef (and any optional vegetables) to the marinade prepared above - in a large bowl or zip bag. Make sure the marinade is well mixed with the beef. You will need to use your hands here and just massage everything together.
  • While the beef is in the marinade, heat the charcoal until the coals are grey. Add the meat slices and any vegetables to the mesh tray or basket. Turn the beef slices (and vegetables if using) a time or two while cooking. They will only take a few minutes, but you want to make sure they are cooked through and slightly charred for the best flavor.
  • If pan-frying, pan should be hot enough so that the meat sizzles as it touches the pan. Also, if you put too much meat into the pan and/or the heat is too low, you will end up with a lot of the meat juice leaking out of the bulgogi and you end up with Bulgogi stew.
  • Serve with rice, or wrapped in lettuce leaves, or make a bulgogi bowl with rice on the bottom and beef and vegetables placed on top.

10 cloves garlic
1 piece ginger, peeled

Tips for Making Bulgogi:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: The best cut of beef for bulgogi is thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin. These cuts are tender and flavorful, and they cook quickly.
  • Slice the beef thinly: The thinner the beef is sliced, the more tender it will be. Aim for slices that are about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and green onions helps to tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Cook the beef over high heat: Bulgogi is traditionally cooked over a charcoal grill, but you can also cook it in a skillet or on a griddle. Cook the beef over high heat until it is slightly charred and cooked through.
  • Serve the beef with rice and banchan: Bulgogi is typically served with rice and a variety of banchan (small side dishes). Some popular banchan include kimchi, japchae, and pickled radishes.

Conclusion:

Bulgogi is a delicious and easy-to-make Korean dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give bulgogi a try!
