Last week, we discovered a Korean restaurant in town, Sunna’s Korean Restaurant. In fact, we liked it so much for lunch one day, that we went back for dinner the next day! Super nice staff, go out of their way to take care of you and say thank you when you leave, plus delicious, fresh food. Both times I ordered the Bulgogi, which is Korean barbecued beef. Since I had a flank steak in the freezer, I decided to give it a try making it myself. I looked at a few different recipes, and settled on a marinade that I liked, so here it is! I have no idea how authentic it is, but it turned out really good. I marinated just the meat and onions, then added the other vegetables after cooking the meat and onions first.
Bulgogi
What you need:
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 pound flank steak, cut into thin slices
1 small onion, cut into thin wedges
1 bunch green onions, chopped
Vegetables of your choice to serve with, if desired (I used carrots, cabbage, broccoli, and zucchini)
How to make it:
Stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, garlic, and ginger. Pour over the sliced steak, onions, and green onions. Cover and marinade in the refrigerator overnight.
Heat a grill over high heat. Place meat and vegetables on a piece of foil on the grill, or use a grill basket. Cook until beef is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
Alternatively, you can add 1 tablespoon of oil to a wok and heat over medium-high heat. Cook beef and onions in the wok until meat is cooked through. Add in any other vegetables and cover, continuing to cook until vegetables are tender, stirring often.
Serve with rice, if desired.
