Steps:
- Wrap steak in plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Unwrap and slice across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices. In a medium bowl, combine pear, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and gochujang. In a gallon size Ziploc bag, combine soy sauce mixture and steak; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat.* Working in batches, add steak to the grill pan in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until charred and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and steak. Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
KOREAN BEEF BULGOGI TACOS WITH KIMCHEE SLAW
Steps:
- For the taco shells: Pour enough canola oil in a heavy pot or deep fryer for the wonton wrappers to be submerged completely when frying. Heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 375 degrees F.
- Using a taco shell mold, fry the wonton wrappers in the oil until crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and allow to cool fully before using.
- For the scallion slaw: Rinse the scallions thoroughly with cold water. Prepare a bowl of ice water, add the scallions and soak for 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
- Combine the scallions, rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, chile flakes and sesame oil and let marinate for 20 minutes.
- For the bulgogi marinade: Add the garlic and onions to a food processor and process until thoroughly combined. Add the soy sauce, red wine, sesame oil, black pepper, pears, pineapple cubes and 1 1/2 cups water and process until thoroughly combined.
- Add the rib eye to a bowl, pour over the bulgogi marinade and allow the beef to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat until hot. Remove the beef from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip back into the bowl. Add the beef to the pan and cook until well done, about 5 minutes. (This is very important to allow the flavors of the marinade to develop completely.)
- Peel the pear and slice it into thin half-moons. Place a layer of the kimchee and then the beef into each taco shell. Garnish with the scallion slaw and sliced pears.

- For the kimchi: Meanwhile, combine cabbage and salt and let set for 24 hours at room temperature.
- Stir together rice flour and 1 cup water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a small pot, then add the slurry to the boiling water and mix until it comes to a boil again. Remove from the heat and let cool completely in the fridge.
- Add Korean chile flakes, garlic, ginger juice, salted shrimp, sesame seeds, carrots and green onions to a medium bowl and mix well. Drain the liquid from the salted cabbage. Mix in the slurry until fully incorporated. Add the carrot and green onion mixture. Let set at room temperature for 24 hours, then refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the bulgogi kimchi sesame fries: Bring oil to 350 degrees F in a deep-fryer.
- Fry french fries until golden brown. Saute bulgogi and 1 pound kimchi together (save the remaining kimchi for another use). Pour over french fries. Pour Cheese Sauce over the top, then drizzle with gochujang. Finish with green onions.
- Bring the heavy cream and half-and-half to a simmer in a saucepan. Add cheese and stir until completely melted. Place in a warm water bath to hold.
OI SOBAGI
This spicy cucumber kimchi is a perfect summer side dish. (Oi means cucumber and sobagi indicates it's been cut in a cross shape and stuffed with a seasoned mixture.) It is often made with Korean cucumbers, which have very thin skins and few seeds, but this recipe uses Kirby cucumbers. They are more accessible in the U.S. and hold up just as well during the fermentation process, staying firm and crisp. Unlike traditional kimchi made with cabage, cucumber kimchi shouldn't be kept more than 7 days at most, and it is best eaten within 2 to 3 days.

Steps:
- Whisk together the sea salt and 5 cups lukewarm water in a large bowl until most of the salt is dissolved, then set the brine aside.
- Cut off a small piece from both ends of the cucumbers, then halve each cucumber crosswise. Cut each half lengthwise from the wider end until you reach 1/2 inch from the thinner end. (Do not cut all the way through the cucumber.) Turn the cucumber 90 degrees and repeat the process. What you have now is 4 equal "spears" of the cucumber held together at the thinner end.
- Add the cucumbers to the brine and let soak until the spears can bend slightly without breaking, 3 to 4 hours. Drain the cucumbers cut-side down in a colander for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, whisk together rice flour, 1/4 teaspoon of the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small pot. Heat over medium-high heat and whisk constantly until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. (The mixture will start bubbling at about 2 minutes.) It is ready when you tilt the pot and streaks/lines in the mixture formed from the whisk on bottom of the pot don't fill in. Set the paste aside until ready to use.
- Combine the carrots, chives, onions, gochugaru, fish sauce, garlic, chili flakes, salted shrimp, the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar and reserved paste in a medium bowl.
- Working with one cucumber at a time, hold the spears open with one hand and use your other hand to stuff the vegetable mixture between the spears and slather it all over. (Distribute the mixture evenly among the cucumbers.) Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and let sit at room temperature for 4 to 6 hours so the flavors develop more. I think the kimchi tastes best cold, so also like to refrigerate it for at least an hour before serving. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Q'S SEOUL BULGOGI AND KIMCHI
Steps:
- Cook the hot dogs in boiling water, or on a grill or in a frying pan. Toast the buns in the oven with a little butter. While the buns are toasting, heat a saute pan over medium heat with the cooking oil. Add Q's Bulgogi and cook until meat is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
- When the hot dogs are done cooking, remove the buns from the oven and place a hot dog in each bun. On one side of each hot dog place 1 tablespoon cooked Q's Bulgogi. On the other side place 1 tablespoon kimchi. Drizzle Sriracha over the entire hot dog. Serve.
- Cut the steak into ribbons about 1/4-inch long and thick. Combine the steak with the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, ginger, Sriracha, garlic, pepper and sugar. Mix thoroughly and place in a storage container to marinate in the fridge at least 30 minutes until ready to use.

Steps:
- Pat the steak with paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. Transfer the steak to an airtight container.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the roughly chopped white onion, Asian pear, garlic, ginger, ½ cup brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper and blend until smooth.
- Pour the marinade over the beef. Add the thinly sliced white onion and roughly chopped green onions and mix well to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
- Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a Korean barbecue griddle or medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, add the bulgogi and cook for about 3 minutes, or until browned. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until browned on the other side.
- Transfer the bulgogi to a plate and top with the chopped green onion and toasted sesame seeds. Serve with rice.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- To make the Korean beef bulgogi, use thin slices of flank steak or ribeye steak. This will help the meat cook quickly and evenly.
- Make sure to marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the meat tenderize and absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- When cooking the beef bulgogi, use a hot grill or pan. This will help to sear the meat and create a slightly crispy exterior.
- Don't overcook the beef bulgogi. It should be cooked until it is just slightly pink in the center.
- To make the cucumber kimchi, use fresh, crisp cucumbers. This will help the kimchi have a good texture.
- Make sure to salt the cucumbers before adding them to the kimchi mixture. This will help to draw out the excess water and make the kimchi less watery.
- Store the cucumber kimchi in a cool, dark place for at least 24 hours before eating. This will allow the flavors to develop.
Conclusion:
Korean beef bulgogi and cucumber kimchi are two delicious and easy-to-make Korean dishes. The beef bulgogi is savory and slightly sweet, while the cucumber kimchi is refreshing and tangy. These two dishes are perfect for a summer cookout or party. They can also be served as part of a traditional Korean meal.
