Equipment

  • large bowl
  • skillet or wok
  • serving platter

Ingredients
  

Marinade

  • 1 lb beef sirloin thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ginger grated
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

For Cooking

Instructions
 

Marinating the Beef

  • In a bowl, combine the sliced beef, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated with the marinade.

Cooking the Bulgogi

  • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  • Cook the beef for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. You may need to cook in batches.
  • Add the sliced onion to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir occasionally.

Finishing Touches

  • Remove the bulgogi from the heat and transfer it to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

For best results, marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight in the refrigerator. Serve with steamed rice and kimchi for a complete meal.
