Traditional Korean Bbq Recipes

BULGOGI (KOREAN BBQ)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together soy sauce, pear juice, sugar, garlic, sesame oil, sesame seeds, black pepper, and monosodium glutamate. Place beef and onions into the mixture, and stir to coat. Cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat grill pan over high heat. Brush oil over grill pan, and add beef and onions. Cook, turning to brown evenly, for 3 to 6 minutes, or until done.

KOREAN BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, rice wine vinegar, chile-garlic sauce, ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper together in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
• Whisk cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until the cornstarch dissolves; pour into boiling soy sauce mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the sauce is thick, 3 to 5 minutes.

KOREAN-STYLE RIBS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl.
• Pour marinade over ribs and let them marinate for at least four hours.
• After marinating, place ribs on baking dish. Reserve the marinade for later.
• Bake ribs at 325°F (160°C) for two and a half to three hours.
• Pour the leftover marinade into a saucepan, add the honey, and bring to a boil to form a glaze. Set aside.
• After two and half to three hours, remove the ribs from the oven. Pour the glaze over the ribs and broil for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Cut up the ribs, sprinkle sesame seeds over, and garnish with scallions.
• 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)

BULGOGI BEEF RECIPE

Steps:

• While the steak is frozen, trim the fat and slice paper-thin. Frozen meat is much easier to cut thin than thawed meat.
• Place the steak strips in a large bowl and top with: Soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, chopped onion whites, pepper, and sriracha. Toss to coat and allow the steak to thaw and marinate for 45-60 minutes.
• Heat a wok (or large skillet) to high heat. Use tongs to transfer half of the meat to the hot wok. Spread the steak pieces around the skillet and allow them to sear on one side before using the tongs to move them around and caramelize on all sides. Once the juices have evaporated and the steak has a nice brown color, remove from the wok, 5-8 minutes.
• Cover the cooked steak to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining meat, and throw out the leftover marinade. Serve warm, sprinkled with the reserved green onion tops and sesame seeds.
