GRILLED KOREAN BULGOGI BEEF

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!

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.

  • Serve over noodles or rice or over greens for a delicious, Asian-style salad.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef: Bulgogi is a dish that relies on the quality of the beef, so it's important to use the best cut you can find. Look for well-marbled, thinly sliced beef, such as ribeye, strip loin, or tenderloin.
  • Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes: The marinade helps to tenderize the beef and infuse it with flavor. Make sure to marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the beef over high heat: Bulgogi is traditionally cooked over a hot grill, but you can also use a stovetop grill pan. Make sure to heat the grill or pan over high heat before adding the beef.
  • Cook the beef in batches: Don't overcrowd the grill or pan, or the beef will steam instead of sear. Cook the beef in batches, if necessary.
  • Serve the beef with your favorite sides: Bulgogi is traditionally served with rice, lettuce wraps, and a variety of banchan (side dishes). Some popular banchan include kimchi, japchae (glass noodles), and gyeran mari (rolled omelet).

Conclusion:

Bulgogi is a delicious and versatile Korean dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. It's a great way to use up leftover steak or roast beef, and it's also a popular dish to serve at parties and gatherings. With its bold flavors and simple preparation, bulgogi is sure to please everyone at the table.
