Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 scallions, white part only, finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds shell or New York strip steak, hanger or skirt steak also work well
2 tablespoons gochujang, Korean fermented chili paste (optional)
2 tablespoons sweet miso, preferably Saikyo miso (substitute white miso mixed with 2 teaspoon sugar)
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small head red leaf lettuce, leaves separated and washed
3 cups cooked short grain sushi rice

Steps:

  • For the marinade, mix the soy sauce, sugar, sesame seeds and black pepper in a small bowl. Finely mince the garlic and scallion whites and add to the marinade.
  • Slice the steak against the grain and put the slices in a large baking dish. Coat with the marinade and allow to sit, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
  • For the chili sauce, mix together the gochujang and sweet miso and set aside.
  • To cook the meat, heat 2 tablespoons (30ml) oil in a large nonstick skillet on high. Add half the marinated meat, leaving any excess marinade behind, and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Remove to a plate and repeat. Serve with the lettuce leaves for wrapping along with the rice and chili paste sauce.

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.
