101 Korean Spicy Beef Bulgogi Recipes

BULGOGI (KOREAN BBQ BEEF)

Steps:

• Blend the marinade ingredients in a mixer or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
• Place the thinly sliced meat in a mixing bowl and pour the marinade over it. Mix them well together while gently massaging the meat with your hands. (Wearing a food prep glove is very handy here!)Add the sesame oil and mix it into the meat. (I prefer adding the sesame oil separately as opposed to mixing it in the marinade sauce. I read somewhere that the oil can prevent the other sauce getting absorbed effectively into the meat.)Cover the bowl with cling wrap (or move the marinated meat into a glass container with a lid) and marinate the meat for at least 4 hours in the fridge. (If you have more time, you can also marinate it overnight to deepen the flavour even more).
• Preheat a skillet / bbq grill on medium high heat until well heated. Add the cooking oil and spread it well. Add the meat (and vegetables) and cook it on medium high to high heat for 3 to 5 mins (until the meat and vegetables cook to your desired doneness). Toss in the sesame seeds and stir them quickly.
• Serve the bulgogi with steamed rice and other Korean side dishes. (refer above for more tips)

EASY BULGOGI (KOREAN BBQ BEEF)

Steps:

BULGOGI (KOREAN BBQ RIB EYE) RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Pat the steak with paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. Transfer the steak to an airtight container.
• In a blender or food processor, combine the roughly chopped white onion, Asian pear, garlic, ginger, ½ cup brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper and blend until smooth.
• Pour the marinade over the beef. Add the thinly sliced white onion and roughly chopped green onions and mix well to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
• Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a Korean barbecue griddle or medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, add the bulgogi and cook for about 3 minutes, or until browned. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until browned on the other side.
• Transfer the bulgogi to a plate and top with the chopped green onion and toasted sesame seeds. Serve with rice.
• Enjoy!
