Korean Bulgogi
Have always been a fan of certain Korean dishes and decided to test my hand at a fairly simple one that packs a ton of flavor. This was an easy weeknight meal that anyone can throw together and is also a bit healthy as well for those watching what they eat. Korean Bulgogi Cups.
Ingredients:
- 1 steak or 1/2 lb small beef roast cut into thin strips
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp minced ginger
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- Sesame seeds
- Cooked white rice
- Bibb, Boston or Butter lettuce
- Shredded carrots
1. Slice beef into thin strips and place in a plastic sealed bag.
2. In a bowl combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, garlic, rice wine and a few sesame seeds. Whisk together and pour into the bag of beef to marinate for at least 1 hour or even overnight.
3. In a large wok, drizzle the other 1 tbsp sesame oil. Remove beef strips from bag and saute until cooked through. Only should take a few minutes.
4. Pour in the sauce and let it reduce a bit and thicken up.
5. Take a bit of lettuce and spoon in some cooked white rice. Top with a few beef strips and some shredded carrots. Consume.
These were so good and felt like I was being healthy eating them. Packed full of flavor with the combination of sugar, soy, and sesame and definitely left me wanting more. Enjoy!
