IT’S TIME FOR….BULGOGI! (불고기)

Everyone I ask knows about Korean BBQ! The problem arises when you ask them how its eaten. Alas some brilliant Youtuber uploaded a save all.

Its easy as 1,2,3,4!

I’m a big fan of eating out. And bulgogi is a perfect food to eat with friends. Unfortunately, its not always cost effective to dine out. So for those of you who cant go to a local Korean restaurant (or don’t have one to begin with) here an easy recipe! The best part is that you can eat this with a some rice and kimchi and have a complete, filling meal.

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds of tenderloin beef
  • 1 cup of soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • 12 cloves of garlic
  • Asia pear
  • 1 whole onion
  • sesame oil
  • sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp. of honey
  • Lettuce leaves
  • 2 cups of cucumber
  • 2 cups of carrot
  • 2 cups of green onions
  • red pepper paste

Instructions:

  1. Make marinade sauce for 2 pounds of beef by mixing following: ½ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup sugar, 12 cloves minced garlic, 1 medium size onion (crushed), 1 small size of Asian pear (crushed), ½ cup of water (can be replaced with cooking wine), and 1 tbsp. of honey.
    *tip: Using a food processor is very convenient.
  2. Prepare a large stainless bowl and pour the marinade sauce in it.
  3. Slice the beef thinly, against the grain, to make it tender.
    *tip: Keep the beef in the freezer for a few hours beforehand, then it will be easier to cut.
  4. Place the sliced beef into the marinade and add 1 or 2 tbsp. of sesame oil and some toasted sesame seeds. Mix it by hand and keep it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.                                                                                          *Note: After 3 hours, you can grill the meat on charcoal BBQ, broil it in oven, or grill it on pan.
  5. Cut the carrots, cucumbers, and green onions into thin long strips  (about 2 inches in length)
  6. In a hot pan add a bit of sesame oil, soy sauce, and your cut vegetables. Stir fry for about 2 minutes.
  7. Grill the meat right before you eat.
