Korean BBQ Beef Bulgogi

 Bulgogi is a popular Korean BBQ dish made with marinated beef that’s grilled or stir-fried. This homemade version is easy, flavorful, and perfect for meal prep!


Ingredients

For the Marinade:

1 lb (450g) beef (ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak)

1/4 cup (60ml) soy sauce

2 tbsp brown sugar or honey

1 tbsp sesame oil

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1/2 tsp ginger (grated)

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp rice vinegar (optional, for extra tenderness)

1/4 cup pear or apple (grated, for natural sweetness)

1 tbsp gochujang (optional, for a spicy kick)

1/4 cup green onions (chopped)


For Cooking & Serving:

1 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)

1/2 onion (sliced)

1 carrot (julienned)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Cooked rice, lettuce, or tortillas (for serving)



 

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Meat

✳️Slice the beef thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). For easier                   slicing, freeze the meat for 30 minutes before cutting.

Step 2: Make the Marinade

✳️In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic,         ginger, black pepper, rice vinegar, grated pear/apple, and         gochujang.

✳️Add the sliced beef and coat well. Mix in green onions.

✳️ Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight          for better flavor).

Step 3: Cook the Bulgogi

✳️Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan or grill over medium-high heat.

✳️Add sliced onions and carrots, stir-fry for 1-2 minutes.

✳️Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3          minutes per side until browned and caramelized.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

✳️Garnish with sesame seeds and more green onions.

✳️Serve with steamed rice, lettuce wraps, or tortillas for a             fusion-style meal.


Tips for the Best Bulgogi:

✅ Use ribeye or sirloin for the most tender beef.

✅ Grated pear or apple helps break down the meat fibers,             making it juicy.

✅ Marinate overnight for deep, rich flavors.

✅ Grill it for an authentic smoky BBQ taste.
