Bulgogi is a classic Korean dish that is famous all over the world for its unique taste and aroma. It is made with thinly sliced beef, marinated in a sweet and savory sauce, and then grilled or stir-fried. The word "Bulgogi" literally means "fire meat" in Korean, which refers to the traditional method of cooking it over an open flame. Here is a simple and delicious recipe for Korean Bulgogi:

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb of beef (sirloin or ribeye), thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup of soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup of brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup of mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
  • 1/4 cup of sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup of chopped green onions
  • 1 tbsp of minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp of grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp of sesame seeds
  • 1/2 tsp of black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced
  • 4-5 shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • Vegetable oil for cooking

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, sesame oil, green onions, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined.

  2. Add the thinly sliced beef into the marinade, making sure that every piece is fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat some vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion, carrot, and shiitake mushrooms, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

  4. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

  5. In the same skillet, add the marinated beef and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through.

  6. Add the cooked vegetables back into the skillet and stir-fry for another minute or two, until everything is heated through.

  7. Serve the Bulgogi hot, garnished with some extra chopped green onions and sesame seeds, over a bed of steamed rice or wrapped in lettuce leaves.

Bulgogi is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many ways. You can serve it as a main course with rice and vegetables, as a filling for sandwiches or tacos, or even as a topping for pizzas or burgers.
