Savory meat, spicy kimchi, and a portable tortilla make for the best of both worlds. Now you can make it without waiting all day for food truck novices to order.
Bulgogi Beef
Ingredients
Instructions
Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, sesame oil, pear, onion, garlic, ginger and pepper in a large bowl with a wisk. Leave it to rest for 30 minutes.
Slice the beef thinly using a sharp knife.
#SpoonTip: Cut against the grain (perpendicular to the striations in the meat) for the best result.
Add the beef to the marinade and refrigerate for at least an hour. The more time, the better.
Heat the oil in a skillet on high and sear the meat for 7 minutes, or until medium doneness.
#SpoonTip: If you have any marinade left, put it on the stove on medium heat to make a killer sauce. Pour the reduced sauce over the meat for extra flavor.
