Korean Beef Bulgogi created by Yorky1000

I got the recipe from a Korean friend of mine, she said it was a family favorite and after making it, it became my favorite, too. Don't skip the dipping sauce, it makes the dish!

Best Bulgogi recipe. This has been my go to recipe for years now. I use bison flank steak. Amazing.

I created a food.com account just to write this review! I have made this bulgogi recipe a number of times, it is now a staple in the household. I follow the recipe exactly, but I allow the beef to marinate overnight or maybe even a couple of days in the fridge. I love this over salad with the dipping sauce sprinkled on top. This is almost identical (perhaps better than) a Korean bulgogi restaurant in Chatswood. Love, love, love it!!!

I made this using a full flank steak. Marinated the steak for about an hour, grilled to about medium well (for the wife) let it rest for about 10 mins and then sliced thinly on the bias... It turned out great, kids loved it and adults like the dipping sauce. Definitely going to make again. I didnt use any sesame seeds, I just include a little more sesame oil.

We had friends over for dinner. One was a Korean who hasn't had any authentic food for 9 months. Needless to say, she was overwhelmed with how it tasted exactly like her mother makes it! The recipe was very easy to follow, I did however let the meat marinate in a zip shut bag for two days, it definitely intensified the taste. As for the dipping sauce, I tripled the recipe for 4 adults, none was left. It was fantastic! My wife and I will be using this recipe from now on.
