Bulgogi (Korean BBQ) a.k.a. BEST BEEF EVERRRR







Ryan was looking at Food Gawker because I told him he could give me some dinner ideas. Since I make the menu each week, I basically decide what we eat each night. I don't like always making these decisions. He stumbled accross this Bulgogi recipe and I love my beef, so I was game. I went to the Asian Market here in Anchorage (I was super excited!) I bought the meat there, it was rib eye, they had already cut, which was fantastic, becuase I am no butcher! They have bulgogi marinade you can buy, but I thought it would be fun to make my own. The recipe I used has 1200 reviews and 5 stars! I would fully support that rating! I plan on going back to the Asian Market for more fun!
Here is the Recipe

Ingredients:
  • 1 pound of beef tenderloin, sliced thinly into pieces ½ inch x 2 inches and ⅛ inch thick
Marinade (for 1 pound of beef):
  • ½ cup of crushed pear
  • ¼ cup onion purée
  • 4 cloves of minced garlic
  • 1 chopped green onion
  • 2 tbs soy sauce
  • 2 tbs brown sugar (or 1 tbs of brown sugar and 1½ tbs rice syrup)
  • a pinch of ground black pepper
  • 1 tbs toasted sesame oil

    Directions:
    1. Mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl.
    2. Add the sliced beef and mix well.
    3. You can grill, pan-fry, or BBQ right after marinating, but it’s best to keep it in the fridge and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for a tougher cut of beef. 
  • I fried up some rice and cooked green beans (ryan makes them really well)
