Korean Bulgogi - Tender marinated beef, quick & easy
Looking for a culinary short trip to Seoul? My Korean Bulgogi is the ultimate comfort food when it comes to tender, sweet and savory beef. As a home cook with a flair for flavors, I love this dish because it is wonderfully uncomplicated yet tastes just like a restaurant dish. The combination of savory soy sauce, a light sweetness, and the aroma of toasted sesame makes this specialty irresistible. Bulgogi literally translates to fire meat – and don't worry, that refers only to the high-heat cooking method, not the spiciness! I'll show you how to mix the marinade from fresh garlic and ginger yourself without any fuss. This recipe is perfect for a quick, healthy main meal that pleases every palate. Grab your pan and let's whip up this Korean original together – meow, it's going to be delicious!
Ingredients
Preparation
Slice the beef sirloin (200 g) into very thin strips – make sure to cut against the grain so it becomes butter-tender.
For the marinade, whisk the soy sauce (30 ml) with the brown sugar (15 g) in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved.
Finely mince the garlic clove (1) and grate the ginger (5 g), then add both to the marinade.
Slice the spring onion (1) into fine rings and add a portion of them to the marinade.
Let the meat marinate for at least 15 minutes – in the meantime, I’ll clean my paws!
Heat the sesame oil (10 ml) in a hot pan and sear the marinated meat until it is beautifully caramelized.
Finally, sprinkle with sesame seeds (5 g) and garnish with the remaining spring onion rings.
