Kimchi Bulgogi Cheesesteak Recipes

BULGOGI CHEESE STEAKS

Steps:

• Arrange meat in a single layer on a large cutting board. Cover with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet (or the bottom of a small skillet) until meat is super thin, about 1/16-inch thick.
• In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, scallions, sugar, garlic, pepper and sesame oil. Add meat and toss to evenly coat, massaging sauce into meat.
• In a large skillet, heat 1/4 cup of the safflower oil over medium. Add onion and shishito peppers, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes. Divide among the rolls.
• In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons safflower oil over medium. Add half of the beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring to break up the meat, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes.
• Form into 2 even mounds and top each mound with 2 slices of cheese. Remove from heat and let stand until cheese melts, about 1 minute. Using a flat spatula or large serving spoon, scoop into 2 rolls and drizzle with pan juices. Wipe out skillet with paper towels. Repeat with remaining safflower oil, beef and cheese to make 2 more sandwiches.

BULGOGI-STYLE STEAK WITH KIMCHI SLAW AND TEMPURA FRIES

Steps:

• For the steak: In a resealable plastic bag, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, fish sauce and garlic. Add the steak, toss to coat and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• For the fries: Preheat a deep fryer to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with a cooling rack or paper towels.
• In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of the rice flour and the all-purpose flour. Add the soda water and whisk to combine. In a separate dish, combine the remaining 1 cup rice flour and 1 tablespoon salt. Working a few at a time, dredge the potatoes in the rice flour then the tempura batter. Shake off any excess batter and carefully place the fries in the fryer; cook until golden brown and tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer the fries to the prepared sheet pan and season with salt. Set aside, and repeat for the remaining fries.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and brush with some canola oil. Place on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the steak to a sheet pan and finish cooking in the oven until medium rare, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and rest for at least 5 minutes, tented with foil.
• For the slaw: In a large bowl, combine the carrots, scallions and cabbage. In a separate bowl, combine the agave, vinegar, gochugaru, sesame seeds, fish sauce and salt. Add enough dressing to lightly coat the vegetables. Reserve the remaining dressing for another use.
• Slice the steak, and then serve with the kimchi slaw and tempura fries.

KOREAN BEEF BULGOGI TACOS WITH KIMCHEE SLAW

Steps:

• For the taco shells: Pour enough canola oil in a heavy pot or deep fryer for the wonton wrappers to be submerged completely when frying. Heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 375 degrees F.
• Using a taco shell mold, fry the wonton wrappers in the oil until crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and allow to cool fully before using.
• For the scallion slaw: Rinse the scallions thoroughly with cold water. Prepare a bowl of ice water, add the scallions and soak for 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
• Combine the scallions, rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, chile flakes and sesame oil and let marinate for 20 minutes.
• For the bulgogi marinade: Add the garlic and onions to a food processor and process until thoroughly combined. Add the soy sauce, red wine, sesame oil, black pepper, pears, pineapple cubes and 1 1/2 cups water and process until thoroughly combined.
• Add the rib eye to a bowl, pour over the bulgogi marinade and allow the beef to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
• Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat until hot. Remove the beef from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip back into the bowl. Add the beef to the pan and cook until well done, about 5 minutes. (This is very important to allow the flavors of the marinade to develop completely.)
• Peel the pear and slice it into thin half-moons. Place a layer of the kimchee and then the beef into each taco shell. Garnish with the scallion slaw and sliced pears.

Q'S SEOUL BULGOGI AND KIMCHI

Steps:

• Cook the hot dogs in boiling water, or on a grill or in a frying pan. Toast the buns in the oven with a little butter. While the buns are toasting, heat a saute pan over medium heat with the cooking oil. Add Q's Bulgogi and cook until meat is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• When the hot dogs are done cooking, remove the buns from the oven and place a hot dog in each bun. On one side of each hot dog place 1 tablespoon cooked Q's Bulgogi. On the other side place 1 tablespoon kimchi. Drizzle Sriracha over the entire hot dog. Serve.
• Cut the steak into ribbons about 1/4-inch long and thick. Combine the steak with the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, ginger, Sriracha, garlic, pepper and sugar. Mix thoroughly and place in a storage container to marinate in the fridge at least 30 minutes until ready to use.
