Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound of beef ribeye or sirloin is recommended
  • ΒΌ cup of soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon of grated ginger
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • Sliced mushrooms or onions Optional

Instructions
 

  • Freeze the beef for about 30 minutes to make it easier to slice thinly. This step is optional but highly recommended for achieving tender beef slices.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Take the beef out of the freezer and slice it against the grain into thin strips. Cutting against the grain helps to ensure the beef remains tender.
  • Place the sliced beef in a ziplock bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Mix well, making sure all the beef is coated.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the marinated beef and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
  • Optional: If using sliced mushrooms or onions, you can add them to the pan along with the beef and cook until tender.
  • Sprinkle the cooked beef bulgogi with green onions and toasted sesame seeds for added freshness and crunch.
  • Serve hot with steamed rice and enjoy!
