Best Bulgogi Korean Barbeque Beef Recipes

BULGOGI (KOREAN BBQ BEEF)

Steps:

• Blend the marinade ingredients in a mixer or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
• Place the thinly sliced meat in a mixing bowl and pour the marinade over it. Mix them well together while gently massaging the meat with your hands. (Wearing a food prep glove is very handy here!)Add the sesame oil and mix it into the meat. (I prefer adding the sesame oil separately as opposed to mixing it in the marinade sauce. I read somewhere that the oil can prevent the other sauce getting absorbed effectively into the meat.)Cover the bowl with cling wrap (or move the marinated meat into a glass container with a lid) and marinate the meat for at least 4 hours in the fridge. (If you have more time, you can also marinate it overnight to deepen the flavour even more).
• Preheat a skillet / bbq grill on medium high heat until well heated. Add the cooking oil and spread it well. Add the meat (and vegetables) and cook it on medium high to high heat for 3 to 5 mins (until the meat and vegetables cook to your desired doneness). Toss in the sesame seeds and stir them quickly.
• Serve the bulgogi with steamed rice and other Korean side dishes. (refer above for more tips)

Serve over hot rice and top with green onion slices.

BULGOGI (KOREAN BARBECUED BEEF)

Steps:

• Score the meat, if necessary, and place between two pieces of plastic wrap, pound lightly with meat pounder, lightly, to tenderize. Slice the meat on the diagonal into thin strips. Place the meat in a shallow non-reactive baking dish. In a large bowl combine the marinade ingredients and pour them over the meat, mixing well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. Preheat the grill. Remove the meat from the marinade. Over high heat grill for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until meat is nicely browned. Alternately, the meat may be cooked in a very hot frying pan. Wrap a few pieces of beef in a lettuce leaf and all or any of the garnishes. Eat at once.;

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, garlic, sugar, salt, black pepper, and MSG. Place beef, carrots, and onions in the bag; seal, and shake to coat the vegetables and beef with the sauce. Refrigerate for at least 2 1/2 hours. I prefer to marinate mine overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Remove meat and vegetables from marinade, and place on a large sheet of aluminum foil; seal. Discard marinade.
• Place on grill, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or to desired doneness.

BULGOGI - KOREAN BEEF BBQ

Steps:

• Mix all of the marinade ingredients together except for the beef and any optional vegetables as mentioned in the description.
• Add the beef (and any optional vegetables) to the marinade prepared above - in a large bowl or zip bag. Make sure the marinade is well mixed with the beef. You will need to use your hands here and just massage everything together.
• While the beef is in the marinade, heat the charcoal until the coals are grey. Add the meat slices and any vegetables to the mesh tray or basket. Turn the beef slices (and vegetables if using) a time or two while cooking. They will only take a few minutes, but you want to make sure they are cooked through and slightly charred for the best flavor.
• If pan-frying, pan should be hot enough so that the meat sizzles as it touches the pan. Also, if you put too much meat into the pan and/or the heat is too low, you will end up with a lot of the meat juice leaking out of the bulgogi and you end up with Bulgogi stew.
• Serve with rice, or wrapped in lettuce leaves, or make a bulgogi bowl with rice on the bottom and beef and vegetables placed on top.
