Korean Grilled Meat on Skewers (Bulgogi)

Lots of flavor, I have made this also using pork tenderloin. Soak the wooden skewers in water for half an hour to prevent them burning. Marinating time not included. Freezing the meat slightly makes it easier to slice it thin.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs  boneless sirloin beef (or other good beef)
• 1  tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
• 1 -2  cloves crushed garlic
• 1⁄2 tablespoon  grated fresh ginger
• 3 -4  green onions, finely chopped
• 1⁄3 cup soy sauce
• 2  tablespoons dry sherry
• 2  tablespoons  sesame oil
• 2  teaspoons sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, to taste

Directions

1. Toast the sesame seeds in a frying pan over medium heat until brown, let them cool.
2. Cut the beef in thin slices.
3. Mix all marinade ingredients together, add also the sesame seeds, and to this add the beef.
4. Leave to marinate at least 30 minutes, a few hours is preferred.
5. Thread the meat on wooden skewers, grill or barbecue a few minutes on each side, using the remaining marinade for basting.
