BULGOGI (BARBECUED BEEF)



Bulgogi (Barbecued Beef) image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds sirloin, sliced across the grain on the diagonal bias
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 scallions, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons honey
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon kochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 head green leaf lettuce

Steps:

  • With the back of a knife, pound each slice of beef lightly to tenderize it. In a bowl combine the remaining ingredients. The mixture should have thick consistency. Add the marinade to the meat and mix well with your hands, making sure each piece is coated. Cover with plastic and let sit for at least 1 hour.
  • Cook the beef in one layer on a tabletop hibachi. The meat should be well done, and the outside caramelized. In a bowl, combine sugar and kochujang. Pour sesame oil over the mixture. Serve the beef with green leaf lettuce and the kochujang mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak are good choices for bulgogi.
  • Slice the beef thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes: This will help it absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Use a hot grill or griddle: This will help to sear the beef and give it a nice char.
  • Cook the beef for a short time: Overcooking will make it tough.
  • Serve the bulgogi with a variety of sides: Rice, noodles, vegetables, and kimchi are all good options.
