BULGOGI SCALLION PANCAKE-ADILLAS RECIPE



Bulgogi Scallion Pancake-adillas Recipe image

Tacos are tasty, but this Korean spin on quesadillas is even better. First, we ditch boring tortillas for savory scallion pancakes, and then we load them up with two types of cheese and heaps of spicy-sweet bulgogi beef. With all of that melted cheese, flaky pancake, and marinated steak, these bulgogi scallion pancake-adillas are impossible to resist.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons gochujang, plus more for drizzling (see note)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 scallions, sliced, plus more to garnish
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound beef flank steak, ribeye, or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
1 recipe Extra-Flaky Scallion Pancakes
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (4 ounces)
Cilantro, for topping

Steps:

  • In a plastic zipper-lock bag, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, sesame oil, rice vinegar, scallions, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Mix well. Add the sliced beef and close the bag, squeezing out any excess air. Shake well and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours, turning bag occasionally to redistribute marinade.
  • Heat a large skillet over high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade and cook until browned all over. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Prepare the Extra-Flaky Scallion Pancakes and set them aside on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
  • Top 2 of the 4 scallion pancakes with bulgogi meat and cheese, and leave the other 2 bare. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, then put 1 topped scallion pancake in the pan. Top with a bare scallion pancake to close.
  • Let cook until the cheese begins to melt and the bottom pancake has crisped up and browned. Flip and cook on the second side until all of the cheese is melted and the bottom has browned. Remove from heat, set aside, and repeat to make the second quesadilla.
  • Drizzle the quesadillas with additional gochujang, if desired, and top with scallions and cilantro. Serve immediately.

BULGOGI



Bulgogi image

Bulgogi is one of the classic Korean BBQ dishes. But it's also very useful for adding Korean beef to other dishes like bibimbap, or making mashup dishes like Korean-inspired tacos or quesadillas. The secret to hand slicing the meat into paper-thin slices is to freeze it until semi-firm, about 3 hours. It will still be semi-pliable but very firm and easier to slice. You can also buy the beef pre-sliced at any Korean market. This marinade can be used with other cuts of beef, including rib-eye, New York strip or filet mignon.

Time 3h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds (675 grams) rib-eye beef, frozen until semi-firm
1/4 cup (60 milliliters) soy sauce
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) sesame oil
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) sesame seeds, toasted, plus more for garnish
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
3 tablespoons (45 grams) brown sugar
2 tablespoons gochujang
2 green onions, sliced (stems and all)
1/4 cup (45 milliliters) water
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil

Steps:

  • Slice the semi-frozen beef into 1/8-inch-thick slices.
  • Put the soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, garlic, brown sugar, gochujang and green onions in a large bowl and mix together until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Add 1/4 cup water to the mixture, stir well and add the beef. Let it marinate for at least 3 hours or overnight. (Cover and refrigerate if marinating for longer than 2 hours.)
  • Heat a large skillet or grill until hot. Add the oil to the skillet (or brush your grill grates) and cook the beef until just cooked through, turning once.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds.

EASY BULGOGI (KOREAN BBQ BEEF)



Easy Bulgogi (Korean BBQ Beef) image

Most Bulgogi recipes call for crushed pear. This is for tenderizing the meat. My boyfriend's Korean mother says Coca-Cola® can also be used for the same purpose. This recipe uses very thin-sliced meat so tenderization isn't necessary. Sugar is used instead.

Just like my Korean mom makes it! It's delicious! Even better if rolled up in red leaf lettuce with rice and hot pepper paste. If you want to spice it up just add red pepper powder to your marinade.
