Bulgogi Made With Kiwi-Onion Sauce image

Korean marinated beef served in a lettuce leaf. This is a stir-fry version, though bulgogi can also be grilled. Use sirloin tip, T-bone or flank steak; firming it up in the freezer before slicing allows it to be cut very thin. Use sesame oil in the kiwi-onion sauce--NOT toasted sesame oil, which is something different. Good served with your favorite Asian dipping sauce (I favor taylortwo's "My Korean Dipping Sauce"--Recipe #50692, made with lower-sodium soy sauce and with the garlic doubled). Marinating time of at least 2 hours not included in prep time.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 -1 1/2 lb steak, sliced in very, very thin strips
1 tablespoon sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 scallions, cut in 2-inch lengths (white & green parts)
2 -3 cups cooked sticky rice
4 leaves red leaf lettuce (large) or 4 curly leaf lettuce (large)
1 cup chopped onion
1 kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup korean soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons sesame oil

Steps:

  • Toss beef slices with 1 Tbs sugar; let sit about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile prepare sauce: Process onion and kiwi in blender or food processor. Add soy sauce through pepper and process briefly. Add sesame oil in a gradual stream while continuing to process. Taste and adjust seasonings: add a little more soy sauce if more saltiness is desired or more sugar for added sweetness.
  • Toss beef with garlic, scallions and marinade, mixing thoroughly to distribute marinade evenly.
  • Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • Stir-fry in skillet or wok over high heat about 2 minutes until the beef is cooked through.
  • Place 1/4 of the bulgogi and 1/4 of the rice in each lettuce leaf and roll up.
  • If desired, serve with dipping sauce.
