Korean Beef Bulgogi

Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 45 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1 lb thinly sliced beef sirloin (sliced about 2-3mm thick, against the grain-it is easier to slice when partially frozen. use a sharp)
• garlic, 5 minced cloves (i used a garlic press)
• ginger, fresh 1/2-1 inch piece (if you like lots of ginger, go for the 1in piece)
• 1 medium yellow onion, peeled
• 2/3 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seed oil
• 2 -4 tablespoons sugar (i like mine on the sweeter side, i went with 4)
• cracked pepper, to taste
• 1 onion (this one is for cooking)
• 1/2 cup shredded carrot
• crushed red pepper flakes, to taste

Recipe

• 1 using an very fine grater, grate the onion and ginger (alternatively, you can just blend till liquid but this makes the marinade a bit watery).
• 2 mix together with the soy sauce and minced garlic, and 2 t sugar then taste for sweetness. if it’s not quite sweet enough for your tastes, add all of the sugar.
• 3 put the sliced meat into a bowl, then pour the marinade over the top, add the sesame seed oil, and cracked pepper to taste.
• 4 massage all the marinade into the meat for about 1-2 minutes, making sure none of the slices of beef are stuck together and that the marinade has been distributed evenly throughout.
• 5 cover and store in the fridge for at least a few hours, preferably overnight.
• 6 when it's time to cook: cut the second onion in half lengthwise and slice into thin strips.
• 7 heat an unoiled non-stick frying pan at med-hi heat. add beef with marinade, red pepper if using, carrot and onion. cook till done, about 10-15 minutes.
