BULGOGI - KOREAN BBQ



Bulgogi - Korean BBQ image

Bulgogi can be thought of as the Korean national dish; I learned how to make it while studying in Seoul. The Asian marinated steak-paired with rice, lettuce and chili paste-is a simple, flavorful, and authentic Korean staple.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 scallions, white part only, finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds shell or New York strip steak, hanger or skirt steak also work well
2 tablespoons gochujang, Korean fermented chili paste (optional)
2 tablespoons sweet miso, preferably Saikyo miso (substitute white miso mixed with 2 teaspoon sugar)
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small head red leaf lettuce, leaves separated and washed
3 cups cooked short grain sushi rice

Steps:

  • For the marinade, mix the soy sauce, sugar, sesame seeds and black pepper in a small bowl. Finely mince the garlic and scallion whites and add to the marinade.
  • Slice the steak against the grain and put the slices in a large baking dish. Coat with the marinade and allow to sit, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
  • For the chili sauce, mix together the gochujang and sweet miso and set aside.
  • To cook the meat, heat 2 tablespoons (30ml) oil in a large nonstick skillet on high. Add half the marinated meat, leaving any excess marinade behind, and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Remove to a plate and repeat. Serve with the lettuce leaves for wrapping along with the rice and chili paste sauce.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your bulgogi. Choose fresh, flavorful cuts of beef and use a good quality soy sauce.
  • Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes: The marinade will help to tenderize the beef and infuse it with flavor. If you have time, you can marinate the beef for longer, up to overnight.
  • Cook the beef over high heat: Bulgogi is traditionally cooked over a high heat, which helps to caramelize the marinade and give the beef a slightly charred flavor.
  • Don't overcook the beef: Bulgogi is best when it is cooked to a medium-rare or medium doneness. Overcooked beef will be tough and chewy.
  • Serve bulgogi with a variety of sides: Bulgogi is traditionally served with a variety of sides, such as rice, lettuce, and kimchi. You can also serve it with other vegetables, such as bean sprouts or mushrooms.

Conclusion:

Bulgogi is a delicious and versatile 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 a little planning and effort, you can easily make bulgogi at home. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give bulgogi a try!
