Bulgogi Ground Beef Quick Easy Korean Beef Recipes

GROUND BEEF BULGOGI

Steps:

• Combine beef, garlic, onion, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, plum extract and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. You could marinate for 30 minutes but it's not necessary because we are using ground beef.
• Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat, add cooking oil and swirl to coat. Add the ground beef mixture, stir fry and break down the meat into little pieces. Keep cooking until there's no moisture and everything is fulled cooked, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
• When you hear the sizzling and all the moisture from the beef is gone, toss in chopped green onions. Turn off the heat. Add sesame seeds and oil, toss one last time.
• Serve on top of warm cooked rice, cauliflower rice, quinoa or any starch of your choice. Garnish with some sesame seeds and green onion if you'd like to. Enjoy!

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)
