We got this from this Ashley & Matt -- Ashley did an eighteen month stint in Korea. The lettuce wraps are divine, but it really shines in stir fry.
Korean Bulgogi
3-4 lbs thinly sliced beef (just thicker than lunch meat - the butcher will do this for you and you don't even have to ask very nicely
1/2c. soy sauce
3 T. sesame oil
4T. roasted sesame seeds
1& 1/2 T. beef boullion
1 c. chopped green onions
2 T. chopped garlic
1 T. garlic powder
2T sugar
1/2c. water
Mix everything except the beef in a mixing bowl. Make sure the sugar and boullion have a chance to dissolve. Mix in the meat and thouroughly marinade for at least 2 hours. On medium high heat cook the strips of beef on an outdoor BBQ or broil, or stir fry with vegetables. I always broil on a cookie sheet that is covered with tinfoil. Serve with rice. The best way to eat this is to take a piece of lettuce, put some rice in, a piece of BBQ beef, and a drop of seasoning called Sam-Jang (you can buy it at any Korean market and sometimes in the ethnic food section of your local megamart) wrapped up like a tortilla. But the meat alone is also delicious.
Is this what is waiting for me to make for dinner tonight? Sweet.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe is so, so versatile. It's great for everything: stir-fry, soups, grilled on buns, over rice or noodles, you name it! Oh -- and when you're toasting the sesame seeds, watch them carefully -- they burn fast.
