ingredients

3 pounds top round beef
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons sugar, brown sugar, or honey
1/2 cup water
5 green onions, sliced

directions

Slightly freeze the beef so it is easier to slice. Slice the beef 1/8-inch thick, then cut into bite-sized pieces.

Combine the beef, soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, garlic powder, ginger, sugar, water, and green onions in a bowl or zip-top plastic bag. Mix well, then cover the bowl or seal the bag. Let the meat marinate for 3 hours or up to 8-10 hours.

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef and marinade to the wok and cook, stirring constantly, until the beef is cooked, about 3-5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve the bulgogi hot with steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or in lettuce cups.

  1. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    I make this all the time for my family. It taste some what like we had it in Korea and it has a great taste. I sometimes add extra green onions and a little more sugar.

  2. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    This is the first time I've attempted to make Bulgogi, this was a quick and simple recipe to follow and it tastes every bit as good as the Bulgogi I had at a Korean friends house. I did cook it in the traditional clay pot, so it was juicy and tender. Thanks for the recipe!!!
