Best Bul Kogi Korean Barbecue Recipes

BULGOGI - KOREAN BBQ

Steps:

• For the marinade, mix the soy sauce, sugar, sesame seeds and black pepper in a small bowl. Finely mince the garlic and scallion whites and add to the marinade.
• Slice the steak against the grain and put the slices in a large baking dish. Coat with the marinade and allow to sit, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
• For the chili sauce, mix together the gochujang and sweet miso and set aside.
• To cook the meat, heat 2 tablespoons (30ml) oil in a large nonstick skillet on high. Add half the marinated meat, leaving any excess marinade behind, and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Remove to a plate and repeat. Serve with the lettuce leaves for wrapping along with the rice and chili paste sauce.

BULGOGI (KOREAN GRILLED BEEF)

Steps:

• Wrap beef in plastic wrap or butcher paper and place in freezer for 1 to 2 hours to firm up.
• Cut beef across the grain into thin slices. If cooking in a skillet, slices should be less than 1/8 inch thick; do not worry if they are a bit ragged. If cooking on the grill, uniform slices, 1/8-inch thick, are best.
• In a food processor, combine garlic, pear, onion and ginger and process until very smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
• In a bowl or sealable plastic bag, combine steak, marinade, scallion, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar and pepper and mix well. Cover or seal, then refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• When ready to cook and serve, prepare garnishes. Lettuce leaves should be mounded in a large basket or platter; small dishes can hold remaining garnishes. Keep vegetables cold.
• If using a cast-iron grill pan or large skillet, heat over high heat. Add all the meat and its juices to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until most (but not all) of the liquid has evaporated and the meat begins to brown around the edges. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately, directly from the skillet (this will keep the meat hot). If using a charcoal or gas grill, heat to high. Working in batches if necessary, place the sliced meat on the grill and cook, turning often, just until cooked through and browned, about 2 minutes. If desired, heat an empty cast-iron skillet and use as a serving dish; this will keep the meat hot. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• To eat, lay a lettuce leaf open on your palm. Add a perilla leaf (if using), a small lump of rice, 1 or 2 pieces of meat and any other garnishes on top, then dab with sauce. Wrap by lifting up the edges of the lettuce leaf, then twisting them together to make a tight bundle. Eat each bundle in one bite, according to Korean tradition.
