RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS


If you can't get to a Korean market to buy pre-sliced beef ribeye,

ask your local butcher to slice the beef ribeye for you

OR

Freeze the block of beef for about 20 to 30 minutes or until it is soft icy. Using a sharp knife or a serrated knife, thinly slice the half-frozen beef block.


3 Minute Bulgogi Stir-Fry

Preheat your non-stick frying pan on high heat for a good minute or so. It is critical to start stir-frying on a preheated pan.

(The stove heat remains at HIGH throughout)

Add the olive oil, onion slices, a generous pinch of Kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir fry the onions for about 15 - 30 seconds or until slightly charred.

Hand tare the beef slices and add to the frying pan. Stir-fry for about 1.5 to 2 minutes OR until 2/3 of the beef is cooked (2/3 brown & 1/3 red).

Add the boiling water, soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, and beef Dashida. Mix to dissolve the ingredients. Continue mixing the beef and the ingredients in the frying pan for about 1 minute.

Then turn off the stove heat.


Now, taste it. See if the beef is salty enough for you.

Season to taste with more salt.

If too salty, add a bit of boiling water and mix in the frying pan.

As for the sweetness, bulgogi is NOT meant to be sweet-tasting. BUT if you prefer a sweeter taste, add a bit more of the brown sugar to the liquid in the pan and mix well.

Now, the bulgogi au jus should be somewhat salty so that when eaten with warm Korean rice, the saltiness will be perfectly balanced.


Transfer the bulgogi to a serving plate.

Add the minced scallions on top. Then sprinkle a pinch of toasted sesame seed salt. TIP - When it comes to garnishing with sesame seeds, less is more. Adding lots of sesame seeds will not make your dish taste better😭. I have seen so many Korean recipes out there where sesame seeds have massive explosions on the dish😂.

Drizzle about less than 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil on top. Adding the sesame oil to this hot bulgogi that just came off the frying pan, will create this instant bulgogi aroma that is just simply divine😋. (TIP - Sesame oil has a low threshold for heat, and will burn and create a rancid burnt taste if you add it to a hot frying pan. In general, sesame oil is used for drizzling and added to dishes as a frequent seasoning, not as a cooking oil.)


You must have warm Korean rice with Bulgogi.

If you can't make Korean rice because you are in a pinch, try these cooked microwavable Korean rice packaged bowls. They are super moist and delicious.


If you want to learn how to make Korean rice, it really is simple to do, and not complex as some may believe. Here is my Soybean Sprouts Rice Pot that includes how to make Korean rice (small portion).



FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I use other beef parts, other than the ribeye?

Yes! But avoid heavy fatty beef parts. Try to get a block of beef that has some marbling of fat. If you want to use the chewer parts, like the shoulder, follow the regular bulgogi recipe and let it soak in the bulgogi marinade for 48 hours. Here is the Bulgogi Marinade Recipe


Can I use pork slices instead of beef?


Yes! Follow the same recipe using thinly sliced pork AND add 1/2 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger. Pork belly or any fatty blocks of pork will NOT with this recipe.


🥬Korean Lettuce Wraps/상추쌈
