Easy bulgogi (Mak-bulgogi: 막불고기)
Description: BBQ Season has come! How about making Korean easy bulgogi? You can simply pan-fry the marinated beef on the BBQ and it's done in minutes. Just a few ingredients but full, delicious traditional Korean flavor!
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef tenderloin, top sirloin, or skirt steak), slice into ⅛-inch-thick slices
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 green onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, coarsely ground
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Make marinade by combining the garlic, green onion, soy sauce, sugar, water, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and ground black pepper in a large bowl. Mix it well with a spoon until the sugar is well dissolved.
- Add the sliced beef and mix everything by hand until the beef is covered in the marinade. Keep in the fridge at least 30 minutes.
- Cook on a pan or a grill, and transfer to a plate or a cast iron plate to serve with rice, lettuce, ssamjang, and more side dishes.If you’re using a Korean handheld grill over a flame like I do in the video, use a medium flame and keep moving the grill around so that it gets evenly cooked, before flipping it over.
- To eat, wrap a spoonful of rice, a piece of bulgogi, and a little bit of ssamjang in a lettuce leaf. Fold it over and eat. Repeat!
