Bulgogi (Korean Barbecued Beef) Lettuce Wraps image

This dish is great for hot summer days. The crisp lettuce makes a nice wrapper, but doesn't leave you overstuffed like a starchy wrapper can

Time 35m

Yield 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large round steaks or 3 large sirloin steaks, about 2 pounds total,thinly sliced
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sugar
4 cloves garlic, crushed
4 green onions, minced
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated or finely minced
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
iceberg lettuce, separated into leaves and kept chilled until serving
2 Asian pears, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat a nonstick pan at medium-low for about 30 seconds.
  • Add sesame seeds and toast, shaking or stirring pan occasionally, until seeds are a nice golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Set aside.
  • Combine soy sauce, sugar, garlic, green onions, ginger, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds.
  • Stir until the sugar has more or less dissolved.
  • Add meat, tossing to coat.
  • Marinate 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Grill meat on a rack over hot coals (or in a high broiler) until beef firms up and slightly charred.
  • You want that nice glossy brown look, not the sweaty grayish look.
  • Serve with lettuce leaves and Asian pear slices, allowing guests to roll wraps themselves.
  • To assemble, layer a lettuce leaf with a slice or two of grilled beef and a few thin Asian pear slices, then roll up and enjoy!

This recipe was a disappointment. The beef was tough and the marinade was bland.

Not a fan of the marinade. The beef was a bit tough as well.
