Grilled Korean Bulgogi Beef

Submitted by Nif_H

"I say "bulgogi", you say "pul-kogi". Truthfully, I'm not really sure how you're supposed to say it but, no matter how you say it, it's tasty. Apparently 'Bulgogi' translates as 'fire-meat' in Korean. The flavour in this dish but it's definitely not 'subtle'. You know you've had something to eat after you've had it - lots of salt, garlic and soy combine for mega-umami! I did NOT include the overnight marinating. Enjoy!"

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 453.59 g rib eye steak, thick cut, thinly sliced against the grain (they recommend the rib eye, it is good to have some marbling in the meat)

• Marinade

• 6 garlic cloves, minced, this is not a 'date night' dish
• 1 pear, diced (a pear? What the...?)
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 59.16 ml soy sauce
• 29.58 ml white sugar
• 14.79 ml sesame oil
• 14.79 ml rice wine (white wine works in a pinch)
• 14.79 ml sesame seeds
• 4.92 ml fresh ginger, minced
• black pepper (optional)

directions

1. Combine all marinade ingredients. Add the sliced beef and marinate overnight in the fridge.
2. Grill quickly at high heat. The beef cooks very fast when it's sliced thin so don't wander away. It only takes a minute or 2 on each side!
3. Serve over noodles or rice or over greens for a delicious, Asian-style salad.

I made this for a fee friends and it received rave reviews! I cooked two striploins on the bbq after marinating the meat for about 24 hours and then sliced it really thinnly then served it with a side of brocoli, snow peas and mushrooms, and thin rice noodles. Next time I make this recipe, I will reserve the left over marinade and made a reduction to pour over the noodles. And I'll definitely be making this one again!

What a flavorful steak!!! I made this using a nicely marbled rib eye steak, but didn't bother slicing it up, just cooked the whole steak on the grill. I marinaded it for about 4 hours and it was so flavorful and tasty!! No photo's as it got dark and I took some of it on the grill, but they were all blurry!! Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for ZWT6.

Excellent Bulgogi! I marinated in a ziplock bag for 2 hours and the meat was very flavourful with the good 'bulgogi' flavour. Just love this dish.I served it over rice and with some steamed snow peas.
