Excellent. My husband loved this. I added a little red pepper in addition to the cayenne pepper and then a pinch of brown sugar to soften it a bit. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

This is an awesome recipe and I have gotten nothing but rave reviews from both my American and Korean friends (who have told me it's the best bulgogi ever). I substitute beef tenderloin for cube steak, which obviously makes a difference as well. We like spicy food, and this fits the bill!

Perfect! I cooked it with my very good friend (who is an AMAZING cook) and he totally enjoyed it! Do I need to say more? :)

Yeeowww! This was SPICY!! But we really liked it. I think the only thing I'll change next time is the amount of cayenne. Thanks for a wonderfully flavorful, quick and easy recipe. UPDATE: After making a few other dishes with my newly purchased cayenne, I've realized that it's not necessarily the *amount* of pepper in the recipe but the *potency* of the pepper that I have that was making this so spicy : )

My husband & I both enjoyed this dish. I had some stewing beef to use up & this recipe was just what I was looking for - something different from the usual stews. We don't like super spicy food so I cut back the cayenne by half and that seemed just about right for us. Cooked it up in the wok & served it with brown rice & some stir fried veggies for a complete meal. Will make again!
