White plate with Korean beef Bulgogi and white rice.

Grilled Korean Beef Bulgogi

Carne Diem Culinary
Korean "fire meat," better known as bulgogi, is a Korean favorite consisting of marinated steak that is grilled over a hot fire or griddle. Our bulgogi marinade strikes the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and umami and the tender, juicy, slightly charred beef cooked on our flat top griddle is pure heaven.

Equipment

  • Griddle, flat top or cast-Iron pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Pounds Thinly Sliced Steak Ribeye, New York Strip, or Top Sirloin
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds
  • 2 Green Onions sliced
  • 1 Carrot sliced on the bias

Marinade

  • ½ Red Apple
  • ½ Kiwi
  • ½ Pear
  • ¼ Cup Soy Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Mirin
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 4 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger minced
  • 2 Green Onions
  • 1 pinch Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds

Instructions
 

  • Core the apple and pear then place in a food processor with all of the other marinade ingredients.
  • Blend the marinade until you have a smooth, consistent marinade.
  • Place the sliced steak in a medium sized bowl and cover with the marinade. Mix to make sure the steak pieces are evenly covered. Cover and refrigerate the bulgogi overnight.
  • Heat your griddle to medium high heat (about 400 degrees). If cooking indoors, use a Cooking Steel or large cast iron pan. Evenly coat the griddle surface with a high temperature cooking oil like avocado oil, sunflower oil, or sesame oil.
  • Once your griddle has come to temp, cook the meat in batches for about 1-2 minutes per side, until cooked through and slightly charred on the outside. Do not overcrowd your griddle or pan.
  • Serve the bulgogi while hot over rice with kimchi. If desired, top with additional green onion and sesame seeds.
