Sesame Seeds (Garnish)

C

Cooked Rice (Calrose Rice)

Directions

1

Slice the Beef:

1

Use a sharp knife to thinly slice your frozen or semi-frozen steak. This helps mimic the ultra-thin cuts used in traditional bulgogi.

2

Make the Marinade:

1

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, black pepper, onion powder, and sesame seeds. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

2

Slicing the Onions:

1

Slice your onion, and chop green onions. Add both to the marinade.

2

Marinate the Beef:

1

Place the sliced beef into the marinade. Cover and let it sit in the fridge for at least 1–2 hours (overnight if possible). 30 minutes will still work.

2

Cook the Bulgogi:

1

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of olive oil. Working in batches if needed, cook the beef for 3–4 minutes until caramelized and cooked through. Don’t overcrowd the pan!

2

Serve:

1

Pair with rice and garnish with scallions, sesame seeds. Enjoy

Notes

Slice Your Beef While Frozen Cutting steak thinly is way easier when it's still partially frozen. Stick it in the freezer for 30–60 minutes before slicing if it’s fully thawed. Marinate for Maximum Flavor You can cook it after 30 minutes, but 2+ hours (or overnight) really brings out that sweet, garlicky flavor Don’t Overcrowd the Pan If you pile the beef in all at once, it’ll steam instead of sear. Cook in batches for those golden caramelized edges. Use a Cast Iron Skillet (if you’ve got one) Cast iron gets super hot and gives you the best sear on your beef. A nonstick skillet works too—just keep the heat medium-high. Serve with Short Grain Rice Short grain or sushi rice (Calrose) pairs best it’s sticky and holds everything together perfectly in a bowl.
