Just like my Korean mom makes it! It's delicious! Even better if rolled up in red leaf lettuce with rice and hot pepper paste. If you want to spice it up just add red pepper powder to your marinade.

BULGOGI (KOREAN GRILLED BEEF)



Bulgogi (Korean Grilled Beef) image

Bulgogi, a Korean classic of marinated grilled beef, is easy to make and fun to eat; it's no wonder it is one of the country's most successful culinary exports. As with most Korean barbecue, the meat is seasoned with sesame and scallion, and has ripe pears in the marinade to tenderize the meat and add a characteristic sweetness. Round, pale yellow Asian pears are traditional, but Bosc pears are just fine. The meat is only half the recipe: Just as important are the crunchy vegetables, pungent herbs and savory sauces that all get wrapped together into delicious mouthfuls. Perilla is a common Korean herb in the mint family, but if you cannot find it, you can try other herbs like shiso or cilantro. Make sure to wrap your bundle tightly: According to Korean tradition, you must finish it in a single bite!

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound well-marbled, boneless sirloin, tenderloin or skirt steak
4 large garlic cloves
1 cup peeled, chopped ripe Asian or Bosc pear
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger
1 scallion, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon roasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon light brown sugar or honey
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted
Whole, fluffy lettuce leaves for wrapping, such as green leaf, oak leaf or romaine; and whole perilla leaves (optional)
Any or all of the following: hot cooked short-grain rice; long green hot peppers, sliced crosswise into 1-inch chunks; small peeled garlic cloves; carrot and cucumber spears or sticks, 1 to 2 inches long
Korean Barbecue Sauce (Ssamjang, see recipe)

Steps:

  • Wrap beef in plastic wrap or butcher paper and place in freezer for 1 to 2 hours to firm up.
  • Cut beef across the grain into thin slices. If cooking in a skillet, slices should be less than 1/8 inch thick; do not worry if they are a bit ragged. If cooking on the grill, uniform slices, 1/8-inch thick, are best.
  • In a food processor, combine garlic, pear, onion and ginger and process until very smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
  • In a bowl or sealable plastic bag, combine steak, marinade, scallion, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar and pepper and mix well. Cover or seal, then refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • When ready to cook and serve, prepare garnishes. Lettuce leaves should be mounded in a large basket or platter; small dishes can hold remaining garnishes. Keep vegetables cold.
  • If using a cast-iron grill pan or large skillet, heat over high heat. Add all the meat and its juices to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until most (but not all) of the liquid has evaporated and the meat begins to brown around the edges. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately, directly from the skillet (this will keep the meat hot). If using a charcoal or gas grill, heat to high. Working in batches if necessary, place the sliced meat on the grill and cook, turning often, just until cooked through and browned, about 2 minutes. If desired, heat an empty cast-iron skillet and use as a serving dish; this will keep the meat hot. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • To eat, lay a lettuce leaf open on your palm. Add a perilla leaf (if using), a small lump of rice, 1 or 2 pieces of meat and any other garnishes on top, then dab with sauce. Wrap by lifting up the edges of the lettuce leaf, then twisting them together to make a tight bundle. Eat each bundle in one bite, according to Korean tradition.

EASY BULGOGI (KOREAN BBQ BEEF)



Easy Bulgogi (Korean BBQ Beef) image

Most Bulgogi recipes call for crushed pear. This is for tenderizing the meat. My boyfriend's Korean mother says Coca-Cola® can also be used for the same purpose. This recipe uses very thin-sliced meat so tenderization isn't necessary. Sugar is used instead.

GRILLED KOREAN BULGOGI BEEF



Grilled Korean Bulgogi Beef image

I say "bulgogi", you say "pul-kogi". Truthfully, I'm not really sure how you're supposed to say it but, no matter how you say it, it's tasty. Apparently 'Bulgogi' translates as 'fire-meat' in Korean. The flavour in this dish but it's definitely not 'subtle'. You know you've had something to eat after you've had it - lots of salt, garlic and soy combine for mega-umami! I did NOT include the overnight marinating. Enjoy!

Categories     Steak

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb rib eye steak, thick cut, thinly sliced against the grain (they recommend the rib eye, it is good to have some marbling in the meat)
6 garlic cloves, minced, this is not a 'date night' dish
1/2 pear, diced (a pear? What the...?)
2 green onions, sliced
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice wine (white wine works in a pinch)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
black pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine all marinade ingredients. Add the sliced beef and marinate overnight in the fridge.
  • Grill quickly at high heat. The beef cooks very fast when it's sliced thin so don't wander away. It only takes a minute or 2 on each side!
  • Serve over noodles or rice or over greens for a delicious, Asian-style salad.

Provided by NELady

Categories     Meat

Time 12m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb beef, thinly sliced (ask your butcher to slice the beef "bacon thin", or if you must, slice it 1/8-inch thick)
3 cups steamed rice (optional)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons wine or 2 tablespoons beef broth
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Mix the 9 seasonings. Put the sliced beef and mix together thoroughly; marinate 1 to 2 hours.
  • Grill or broil until beef is cooked to your liking (will cook FAST - is very thin).

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality flank steak: Look for a steak that is well-marbled with a vibrant red color.
  • Slice the steak against the grain: This will result in more tender and flavorful meat.
  • Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes: This will help the steak absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Use a hot grill: This will help sear the steak and prevent it from sticking.
  • Cook the steak for a short amount of time: Overcooking will make the steak tough.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Some popular options include rice, noodles, vegetables, and dipping sauces.

Conclusion:
