Quick and Easy Korean Beef Bulgogi Recipe
Hello from Sir! If I had to choose one dish for a Korean dinner, it would definitely be beef bulgogi. In this recipe, we'll show you how to make one of the most iconic Korean foods of all time. With thinly sliced beef, onions, green onions, and carrots, you can create a delicious bulgogi in no time. For a prettier presentation, add some greens and soft Bulldogs. Trust me, they will make your dish more colorful and nutritious.
To start, get yourself 600 grams of thinly sliced beef and cut it into bite-sized pieces. If you can't find thinly sliced beef, no worries! Just put some steak in the freezer for 30 minutes, then slice it thinly. Place the beef in a mixing bowl.
In a small container, mix together 2 and a half tablespoons each of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar, along with half a tablespoon of mirin. Add 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, 2 teaspoons of toasted sesame oil, a few shakes of black pepper, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Pour this marinade over the beef, give it a good massage, and let it marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes or overnight.
While the beef is marinating, prep your vegetables. Cut five green onions into long strips, and if the white parts are too thick, you can cut them in half. Slice one onion, and julienne some carrots. These vegetables will add color and flavor to your bulgogi.
Heat one tablespoon of oil in a wok or pan over medium heat. Add half of the green onions, half of the onion, and half of the carrot. Saute for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften. Increase the heat to medium-high and add half of the marinated beef. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the beef is cooked through. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Place the cooked beef on a serving plate and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve the bulgogi with rice, lettuce, kimchi, and samjang for a complete meal. For an extra special presentation, make a beautiful rice bowl with bulgogi, adding some greens, soft-boiled eggs, and cherry tomatoes.
