Description
Korean Beef Bulgogi is a delicious and flavorful dish made with marinated flank steak, perfect for serving with rice or lettuce wraps.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, vegetable oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the sliced flank steak to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
- Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the bulgogi topped with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy with steamed rice or lettuce wraps.
Notes
- For a sweeter flavor, add an extra tablespoon of brown sugar to the marinade.
- Substitute flank steak with sirloin or ribeye for a different texture and taste.
