5 pounds Korean style beef short ribs*
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup mirin (rice wine)

4 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil

Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, if desired. Serve whole pieces as a main course or cut into smaller pieces, using kitchen shears, for a starter or party nibble.

Bulgogi (Korean BBQ Beef) image

How to make the most delicious bulgogi (Korean BBQ beef) from scratch. Don't forget to read my best cooking tips from above!

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)

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.

QUICK COOK KOREAN SHORT RIBS



Quick Cook Korean Short Ribs image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup unseasoned rice wine (mirin)
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons gochujang
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, plus additional for sprinkling
6 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
1 medium Asian pear, peeled, cored and roughly chopped
2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
2 teaspoons white sesame seeds
3 pounds boneless beef short ribs, cut 1/4-inch-thick (3 to 4 inches long)
Kosher salt
Olive oil, for drizzling
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes
Juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups finely sliced savoy cabbage
1/2 cup torn fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup torn fresh mint leaves
1 scallion, finely sliced on the bias

Steps:

  • For the short ribs: Whisk together the soy sauce, rice wine, brown sugar, sesame oil, gochujang and black pepper in a large bowl. Puree the garlic, onion, Asian pear and ginger in a food processor until smooth. Whisk into the soy mixture, then thin down with 1/3 cup water. Stir in the sesame seeds. Submerge the beef in the marinade and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight, if time allows.
  • Remove the beef from the marinade and discard the marinade. Let the chill come off the beef for 30 minutes prior to grilling.
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Sprinkle the short ribs with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Place on the grill and cook until deeply charred on both sides, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove to a platter to rest while you make the salad.
  • For the banh mi salad: Whisk together the granulated sugar, rice vinegar, chile flakes and lime juice in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper, then add the cabbage, cilantro, mint and scallions, tossing to thoroughly coat.
  • Pile the salad up on one side of a platter. Shingle and stack the charred short ribs along the other side. Serve.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality beef. Look for cuts that are well-marbled with fat, as this will help to keep the beef moist and flavorful.
  • Be sure to thinly slice the beef against the grain. This will help to make the beef more tender and easier to chew.
  • If you don't have any Asian pears on hand, you can substitute another type of fruit, such as apples or pears. Just be sure to choose a fruit that is firm and not too sweet.
  • Go easy on the gochujang paste. It can be very spicy, so it's best to add it to taste.
  • Serve the Korean beef with rice, noodles, or vegetables. You can also use it as a filling for tacos or burritos.

Conclusion:

Korean beef is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's a great way to add some Korean flavor to your next meal. With its bold flavors and easy-to-follow recipes, Korean beef is a surefire hit for any occasion. So next time you're looking for something new and exciting to try, give Korean beef a try.
