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.

BULGOGI - KOREAN BEEF BBQ



Bulgogi - Korean Beef BBQ image

An iconic and popular Korean BBQ beef dish. Note - be sure to add 30 minutes marinade time to the prep and cooking time. As an option, you can add sliced onions, mushrooms, bell pepper and/or carrots. The traditional method is to use a charcoal grill, using a fine mesh grate or basket to keep the meat from falling through, but you can also pan fry or use a broiler.

Categories     Meat

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb sirloin, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons light brown sugar (white sugar ok)
1 tablespoon honey (2 t sugar is also ok )
2 tablespoons rice wine (mirin or red wine works too)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon green onion, chopped
2 tablespoons pears, puree (Asian pear if available, or 1 Tbs grated kiwi or 3 Tbs onion puree work as well)

Steps:

  • Mix all of the marinade ingredients together except for the beef and any optional vegetables as mentioned in the description.
  • Add the beef (and any optional vegetables) to the marinade prepared above - in a large bowl or zip bag. Make sure the marinade is well mixed with the beef. You will need to use your hands here and just massage everything together.
  • While the beef is in the marinade, heat the charcoal until the coals are grey. Add the meat slices and any vegetables to the mesh tray or basket. Turn the beef slices (and vegetables if using) a time or two while cooking. They will only take a few minutes, but you want to make sure they are cooked through and slightly charred for the best flavor.
  • If pan-frying, pan should be hot enough so that the meat sizzles as it touches the pan. Also, if you put too much meat into the pan and/or the heat is too low, you will end up with a lot of the meat juice leaking out of the bulgogi and you end up with Bulgogi stew.
  • Serve with rice, or wrapped in lettuce leaves, or make a bulgogi bowl with rice on the bottom and beef and vegetables placed on top.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. The best cuts for Korean BBQ are those that are well-marbled and flavorful, such as short ribs, ribeye, or strip steak.
  • Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a hot grill. The ideal temperature for Korean BBQ is between 350 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cook the beef in thin slices. This will help it to cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcook the beef. Korean BBQ is best when the meat is cooked to medium-rare or medium.
  • Serve the beef with a variety of dipping sauces. Some popular options include soy sauce, sesame oil, and gochujang (Korean chili paste).

Conclusion:

Korean BBQ is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can enjoy this Korean classic in the comfort of your own home.
