What is Bulgogi
Bulgogi is a popular Korean dish which consists of thinly sliced beef marinated in a flavorful sauce and typically grilled on a barbecue. A grill pan can be used instead of a barbecue or even a cast iron pan. I decided to cook my bulgogi using a cast iron pan and the dish came out tender and flavorful.
In this recipe, the beef is first marinated in a mixture of onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, pepper flakes, ground pepper, toasted sesame seeds and green onions. After marinating the beef for at least 30 minutes, the slices of beef are cooked in batches on a cast iron pan until browned. Finally, the delicious slices of beef are transferred to a serving plate and garnished with chopped green onions and served with steamed rice. The dish turned out better than I imagined. It’s a tender, tasty and flavorful dish that I will definitely be making again!
