Korean Steak And Eggs Recipes

STEAK AND EGGS KOREAN STYLE

Steps:

• How to find it:
• Korean hot pepper paste (gochu jang or kochujang) is made with pureed fermented soybeans (miso) and hot chiles. Kimchi is a spicy and pungent fermented vegetable mixture; this recipe calls for the version made with Napa cabbage. Both can be found at Korean markets and online at koamart.com.
• For steaks:
• Whisk first 10 ingredients in bowl. Add steaks. Cover; chill overnight.
• For Kimchi rice:
• Bring 2 cups water to boil in small saucepan. Add rice and 1 teaspoon salt. Return to boil; reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until water is absorbed, about 18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill steaks until slightly charred but still pink in center, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add kimchi and vinegar. Stir until heated. Fold in rice. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs into skillet, being careful not to break yolk. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until whites are set, about 3 minutes.

GRILLED KOREAN STEAK AND RICE BOWLS

Steps:

• Cut the steak into 3 to 5 pieces of the same thickness. Carefully slice any pieces thicker than 1/2 inch in half horizontally to create 2 thinner pieces. Put in a large nonreactive bowl or large resealable bag.
• Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, garlic, sugar, a pinch of salt and a generous grinding of pepper in a blender. Cut the pear in half; roughly chop 1 half and add it to the blender. (Refrigerate the other pear half for serving.) Puree the mixture in the blender until smooth, then pour over the steak; toss. Seal the bag and refrigerate 6 to 10 hours.
• Preheat a grill to high (make sure the grates are very clean). Meanwhile, cook the rice as the label directs.
• Remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Strain the marinade into a small pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes; set the sauce aside. Season the steak pieces with salt and pepper and place on the hot grill. Cook, flipping and moving the pieces occasionally to prevent flare-ups, until lightly charred, 5 to 8 minutes for medium doneness, depending on the thickness. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest about 5 minutes.
• Cut the remaining pear half into matchsticks. Divide the lettuce among shallow bowls, piling it to one side; top with the kimchi and pear. Add the rice to the other half of the bowls. Slice the steak and add to the bowls; sprinkle with the scallions. Drizzle with the sauce.

KOREAN MARINATED HARD-BOILED EGGS

• Remove eggs from the refrigerator. Slice in half and place on a serving platter. Spoon some of the marinade over top and drizzle with sesame oil to serve.

KOREAN RICE BOWL WITH STEAK, ASPARAGUS, AND FRIED EGG

Steps:

• Toast sesame seeds in small skillet over medium heat until golden brown, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Transfer sesame seeds to small bowl to cool. Grind sesame seeds, fleur de sel, and chile powder in mortar with pestle or in spice mill until about half of sesame seeds are finely ground. Return to same small bowl. DO AHEAD: Sesame salt can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.
• Place steak in freezer 1 hour for easy slicing. Cut steak crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Whisk soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, green onions, sugar, sake, and garlic in medium bowl. Toss steak in soy mixture. Let marinate at room temperature 30 minutes, tossing occasionally.
• Heat griddle or 2 heavy large skillets over medium-high heat. Toss asparagus with 2 teaspoons vegetable oil on large rimmed baking sheet. Sauté asparagus until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Return to rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle sesame salt over; drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Tent with foil to keep warm.
• Brush griddle with vegetable oil. Working in batches, grill steak until just browned, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to bowl; tent with foil to keep warm. Brush griddle with vegetable oil. Crack eggs onto hot griddle. Cook until whites are set but yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Divide warm rice among bowls. Divide asparagus, then beef among bowls, placing atop rice. Top with fried egg. Serve with Korean hot pepper paste and kimchi.
