Ingredients
- 1 pound thinly sliced beef (such as ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak)
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 stalks green onion, chopped
- 1 medium enoki mushroom, bottom end trimmed
- ½ medium carrot, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apricot jam
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- 1. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients, except the garlic and some onion slices.
- 2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- 3. When you're ready to cook, heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- 4. Saute the remaining onion and garlic until softened and slightly browned.
- 5. Add the beef and marinade to the pan, and cook until the beef is cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
- 6. Serve the bulgogi immediately with rice and your favorite sides.
Notes
-
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of soy sauce and mirin (sweet rice wine).
-
- If you don't have a grill pan, you can cook the bulgogi in a regular skillet. Just be sure to add a little bit of oil to the pan to prevent the beef from sticking.
-
- Bulgogi can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, vegetables, and noodles. I like to serve it with rice, roasted broccoli, and kimchi.
