How to Make Bangja Gui Korean Bbq Beef In A Lettuce Wrap
- Cut 1 lb beef steak (e.g., sirloin or ribeye) into thin slices, approximately 3 inches long and 2 inches wide. This is easier if the steak is slightly frozen.
- In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
- Marinate the beef for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!).
- While the beef marinates, soak 4-5 scallions, thinly sliced, in ice water for 15 minutes to crisp them up.
- Drain the scallions well.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Add the drained scallions and toss to coat.
- In another small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon chili powder (gochugaru), 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds.
- Gently rub this chili-sesame mixture onto the inside of 10-12 large lettuce leaves (e.g., butter lettuce or romaine).
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Grill the marinated beef for 1-3 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
- To assemble, place several slices of grilled beef in the center of each prepared lettuce leaf.
- Top with 1 tablespoon of the seasoned scallions and a sliver or two of garlic (optional).
- Fold the lettuce leaves over the beef to create a wrap and enjoy immediately!
