Beef Bulgogi Recipe for a Korean-Inspired Dinner
K-Drama fans will tell you that beef bulgogi is one of the easiest Korean dishes. Like our local tapa, bulgogi consists of thin, marinated beef slices. Rib eye is often used, but if you want a more economical alternative, you can go for thinly sliced sirloin cuts.
The beef bulgogi marinade tastes sweet and savory and is seasoned with typical Korean ingredients. It enhances the beef sirloin’s naturally meaty and umami flavor. And because the word “bulgogi” means “fire meat,” the traditional way to cook this Korean dish is to grill the meat. But modern adaptations have it cooked on stainless steel skillets or cast-iron pans, giving it the same caramelized edges.
