Bulgogi Beef Lettuce Wraps image

Ultra crispy and smothered in a soy-based sauce studded with rich brown sugar, sweet mirin wine, and brimming with heat from Sambal Oelek, these Beef Lettuce Wraps are my new favorite way to do lettuce. With easy-to-find ingredients, and minimal prep and cook time, they're also the perfect way to get dinner on the table without much effort.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tbsp sesame oil
1 lb ground sirloin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 medium onion, sliced
1 pear, grated
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tbsp dark brown sugar (light is fine too)
3 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp gochujang or sambal oelek
4 green onions, sliced
1 large head butter lettuce
1/2 cup julienned carrots
1/2 cup julienne red peppers
1 tbsp sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Heat a large wok or non-stick skillet over a heat heat. Add 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Swirl to coat the pan. Add ground beef. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Working quickly, use a wooden spoon to break up the beef into small pieces. Continue to brown the beef until it starts to turn very crispy on the outside. This should take about 6-8 minutes. Be sure to keep breaking up the beef with the wooden spooon.
  • While the beef cooks, slice the veggies if you haven't already. Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, remaining sesame oil, black pepper, and sambal oelek to a jar with a lid. (You can also use a small bowl and whisk, just make sure to whisk until all the brown sugar has dissolved.) Shake the jar until the brown sugar has dissolved and all ingedients are combined.
  • Once the beef is cooked through, and most of it is crispy, add the onion and pear. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until onion has completely softened. Add garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until softened.
  • Sprinkle the beef with sauce and sprinkle with green onion. Continue to cook, stirring frequently until the beef is coated and the sauce has thickened, another 3-4 minutes.
  • Spoon into lettuce. Top with peppers and carrots. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

KOREAN GRILLED BEEF LETTUCE WRAPS



Korean Grilled Beef Lettuce Wraps image

This dish is downright addictive. Thinly-sliced strips of beef are marinated in a salty-sweet-spicy marinade then quickly seared on the grill. Then they're rolled up into ssam (Korean-style wraps) by folding a piece of steak or two, some rice, vegetables and herbs inside a crisp, cold lettuce leaf. Be sure to put the meat in the freezer for a bit before slicing the meat; it simplifies a potentially onerous task.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 1/2 pounds rib-eye or other well-marbled steak
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons unrefined sugar
1/3 cup stout or porter
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
2 scallions, minced
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 Asian pear, peeled and grated
cooked sushi rice
large lettuce leaves
scallions, chopped
slivered chiles
fresh herbs, like Thai basil, shiso, mint and cilantro
radishes, thinly sliced
baby carrots, peeled and quartered
Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced and marinated briefly with seasoned rice vinegar
chile flakes
garlic cloves, thinly sliced
sriracha or other chili sauce

Steps:

  • Wrap the steak in plastic and place it in the freezer while you put together the marinade. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar, beer, garlic, scallions, pepper, sesame oil, honey and Asian pear. Take the steak out of the freezer and slice it across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Stir the steak into the marinade and let it sit for 30 minutes, while you build a very hot fire or preheat a gas grill to its highest setting.
  • When the grill is very hot, sear the steak until nicely caramelized, 2 or 3 minutes on each side. Work in batches to avoid crowding the meat. Serve the beef with condiments and make ssam (Korean-style wraps) by folding a piece of steak or two, some rice, vegetables and herbs inside a lettuce leaf.

BULGOGI (KOREAN GRILLED BEEF)



Bulgogi (Korean Grilled Beef) image

Bulgogi, a Korean classic of marinated grilled beef, is easy to make and fun to eat; it's no wonder it is one of the country's most successful culinary exports. As with most Korean barbecue, the meat is seasoned with sesame and scallion, and has ripe pears in the marinade to tenderize the meat and add a characteristic sweetness. Round, pale yellow Asian pears are traditional, but Bosc pears are just fine. The meat is only half the recipe: Just as important are the crunchy vegetables, pungent herbs and savory sauces that all get wrapped together into delicious mouthfuls. Perilla is a common Korean herb in the mint family, but if you cannot find it, you can try other herbs like shiso or cilantro. Make sure to wrap your bundle tightly: According to Korean tradition, you must finish it in a single bite!

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound well-marbled, boneless sirloin, tenderloin or skirt steak
4 large garlic cloves
1 cup peeled, chopped ripe Asian or Bosc pear
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger
1 scallion, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon roasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon light brown sugar or honey
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted
Whole, fluffy lettuce leaves for wrapping, such as green leaf, oak leaf or romaine; and whole perilla leaves (optional)
Any or all of the following: hot cooked short-grain rice; long green hot peppers, sliced crosswise into 1-inch chunks; small peeled garlic cloves; carrot and cucumber spears or sticks, 1 to 2 inches long
Korean Barbecue Sauce (Ssamjang, see recipe)

Steps:

  • Wrap beef in plastic wrap or butcher paper and place in freezer for 1 to 2 hours to firm up.
  • Cut beef across the grain into thin slices. If cooking in a skillet, slices should be less than 1/8 inch thick; do not worry if they are a bit ragged. If cooking on the grill, uniform slices, 1/8-inch thick, are best.
  • In a food processor, combine garlic, pear, onion and ginger and process until very smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
  • In a bowl or sealable plastic bag, combine steak, marinade, scallion, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar and pepper and mix well. Cover or seal, then refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • When ready to cook and serve, prepare garnishes. Lettuce leaves should be mounded in a large basket or platter; small dishes can hold remaining garnishes. Keep vegetables cold.
  • If using a cast-iron grill pan or large skillet, heat over high heat. Add all the meat and its juices to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until most (but not all) of the liquid has evaporated and the meat begins to brown around the edges. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately, directly from the skillet (this will keep the meat hot). If using a charcoal or gas grill, heat to high. Working in batches if necessary, place the sliced meat on the grill and cook, turning often, just until cooked through and browned, about 2 minutes. If desired, heat an empty cast-iron skillet and use as a serving dish; this will keep the meat hot. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • To eat, lay a lettuce leaf open on your palm. Add a perilla leaf (if using), a small lump of rice, 1 or 2 pieces of meat and any other garnishes on top, then dab with sauce. Wrap by lifting up the edges of the lettuce leaf, then twisting them together to make a tight bundle. Eat each bundle in one bite, according to Korean tradition.

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.

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.
