Categories Dinner

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 ½ lb ribeye steak, or any other well-marbled, tender cut
1 onion, 1/2 roughly chopped and 1/2 thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic cloves
½ pear, peeled and roughly chopped
3 spring onions, 1 cut into pieces and 2 sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon black pepper
⅓ cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon sesame seed, for serving
2 cups cooked rice, for serving
Banchan (Korean side dishes), for serving (optional)

Steps:

Slice the beef as thinly as you can, then set aside in a large bowl. Using frozen or cold beef will make the slicing easier.
In a blender or food processor, blend the onion chunks, garlic, pear, green onion pieces, brown sugar, pepper, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth.
Pour the marinade over the beef, add the thinly sliced onion, then mix to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. Pat the meat dry.
Being careful not to crowd the pan, sear the marinated beef and onions until browned. Sprinkle with the sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve with rice and side dishes.
Enjoy!

Time P1DT15m

Yield 1 lb tofu, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1/3 cup soy sauce
1 small pear, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
3 garlic cloves
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 lb extra firm tofu, drained, pressed and cut into 1/2-inch slabs
1/4 cup sesame seeds

Steps:

Combine all the ingredients (except tofu and sesame seeds) in a blender and puree. Pour into a shallow dish.
Place tofu in the marinade, turning to coat. Cover and place in the fridge for 24 hours - 5 days.
Remove tofu from the marinade (you can use it to make a sauce if you want, since there's no raw meat involved) and roll in the sesame seeds.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium high heat (I don't recommend an actual barbecue for this unless the grate is really narrow). Grease well.
Place tofu in one layer on the pan and cook 6 minutes, then carefully turn over and cook another 5-6 minutes.
Serve as part of a rice or noodle bowl, or with a stir fry. This also tastes great as part of a sandwich or wrap.

Categories Soy/Tofu

Time 2h10m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs firm tofu, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1/2 cup soy sauce
6 tablespoons sugar or 6 tablespoons artificial sweetener, of your choice
2 teaspoons dry mustard
4 garlic cloves, minced fine or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 tablespoons oil

Steps:

Marinate tofu at least 2 hours (overnight is best) in a mixture of ingredients #2-#6.
Brown with sides in a skillet in the oil.
Garnish with chopped green onion, mushrooms and snow peas.
Enjoy!

Tips:

Use extra firm tofu: This type of tofu holds its shape better when grilled or pan-fried, preventing it from crumbling apart.
Press the tofu: Pressing the tofu removes excess water, resulting in a firmer texture that can better absorb the marinade.
Marinate the tofu: Marinating the tofu for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, infuses it with flavor and helps tenderize it.
Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade should contain a balance of savory, sweet, and spicy flavors. Soy sauce, gochujang (Korean chili paste), garlic, ginger, and sesame oil are common ingredients in Korean-style BBQ tofu marinades.
Grill or pan-fry the tofu: Grilling or pan-frying the tofu creates a slightly crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
Serve with rice and vegetables: Korean-style BBQ tofu is traditionally served with rice and a variety of vegetables, such as grilled zucchini, bell peppers, and onions.

Conclusion:

Korean-style BBQ tofu is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or as part of a larger meal. With its combination of savory, sweet, and spicy flavors, it's a great option for those looking for a flavorful and healthy plant-based protein. Whether you're grilling it outdoors or pan-frying it indoors, Korean-style BBQ tofu is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
