Easy Korean Flank Steak Recipes

EASY BULGOGI (KOREAN BBQ BEEF)

Steps:

• Combine yellow onion, white and light green parts of green onions, soy sauce, sugar, sesame seeds, garlic, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, ginger, and black pepper in a bowl until marinade is well mixed. Add steak slices to marinade; cover and refrigerate, 1 hour to 1 day.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook and stir steak and marinade together in the hot skillet, adding honey to caramelize the steak, until steak is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Garnish bulgogi with green parts of green onions.

EASY KOREAN FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Place your steak slices in a large ziplock bag (I used gallon sized)
• Add all the marinade ingredients to the bag along with the steak
• Seal the bag, mix together thoroughly, and let sit in your fridge for at least 1 hour
• When ready, heat a large skillet or wok over medium high - high heat (your pan needs to be hot so the steak can get a good, hard sear in a short amount of time)
• Add a bit of vegetable oil and cook your steak in batches. Do not overcrowd your steak or it won't brown. Cook it kind of like you do bacon slices
• Your pan should be hot enough and your steak slices should be thin enough that you only need a minute or two per side - it cooks very quickly
• When all your steak is cooked, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions and serve!

KOREAN-STYLE GRILLED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Stir together soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, Sriracha, sugar, and sesame oil.
• Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-high heat.
• Oil grill rack, then grill steak, covered, turning over once, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare.
• Transfer steak to a cutting board and drizzle with 2 tablespoons sauce, then let stand, uncovered, 5 minutes. Thinly slice steak across the grain. Serve with remaining sauce, scallions, and sesame seeds.

KOREAN BEEF BULGOGI

Steps:

• Wrap steak in plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Unwrap and slice across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices. In a medium bowl, combine pear, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and gochujang. In a gallon size Ziploc bag, combine soy sauce mixture and steak; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat.* Working in batches, add steak to the grill pan in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until charred and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and steak. Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
