Korean Bulgogi Cups

Bulgogi


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!
