How to Make Barbecued Beef Pulgogi
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 green onions (finely chopped), and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds.
- Slice 1 lb beef thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) into 2 x 2 inch pieces. Sirloin, ribeye, or flank steak work well.
- Add the sliced beef to the soy sauce mixture, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your oven's broiler or prepare your grill to medium-high heat.
- Broil or grill the marinated beef for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness.
- Serve immediately with steamed rice, kimchi, and other favorite Korean side dishes.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
