Yield 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
1 bunch scallions (white and pale green parts separated from greens), minced (1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
3 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
1 lb flank steak, cut across the grain into very thin slices (no more than 1/8 inch thick)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Accompaniments: butter lettuce or other soft-leaf lettuce; thinly sliced garlic; packaged kimchi*; steamed white rice

Steps:

  • Stir together soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, white and pale green scallions, garlic, ginger, and 2 tablespoons sesame seeds in a bowl until sugar is dissolved. Add steak and toss to coat, then marinate 15 minutes.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until just smoking, then add steak in 1 layer and sauté, turning over occasionally, until browned and just cooked through, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with scallion greens and remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, then serve with accompaniments.
  • *Available at Asian markets and many supermarkets.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bulgogi turned out tough and chewy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This bulgogi was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less gochujang next time.

I'm not a big fan of Korean food, but this bulgogi was amazing! The marinade was perfect and the beef was cooked to perfection.
