Ingredients

Here's a classic and easy way to make Beef Bulgogi, a popular Korean marinated beef dish:

Ingredients:

Main:

11b (450g) beef ribeye or sirloin, thinly sliced

1 small onion, sliced

2 green onions, chopped

1 tosp sesame seeds (optional)

1 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)

Marinade:

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp sugar (or honey)

1 tosp sesame oil

1 tosp minced garlic

1 tbsp grated ginger

2 tosp mirin (or rice wine; optional but adds sweetness

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 Korean pear or Asian pear, grated (optional but authentic)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef:

Slice the beef very thinly (partially freezing it helps).

Place it in a large mixing bowl.

2. Make the Marinade

In a bowl, mix all marinade ingredients together.

3. Marinate the Beef

Combine sliced beef, onion, and green onions (plus optional veggies) with the marinade. Mix well to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally 4 hours or overnight.

4. Cook

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

Add a bit of oil if using a regular pan.

Cook the beef in batches (don't overcrowd), about 1-2 minutes per side, until cooked through and caramelized.

5. Serve

Serve hot with steamed rice, kimchi, and optional lettuce wraps.
