Ingredients
Beef Marinade
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Main Dish
- 1.5 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium green onion, chopped for garnish
- 0.5 cup sesame seeds, toasted for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, mirin, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.
- Add the thinly sliced ribeye steak to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil if your pan isn't non-stick.
- Add the marinated beef to the hot skillet in a single layer (you may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding). Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
- Add the thinly sliced onion to the skillet during the last minute of cooking and stir-fry until slightly softened.
- Serve the beef bulgogi hot, garnished with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. It's delicious served with rice.
Notes
Adjust the sugar and soy sauce to your preference. For a spicier version, add some gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) to the marinade.
