Korean Barbecued Beef Recipes

BULGOGI (KOREAN BBQ BEEF)

Steps:

• Blend the marinade ingredients in a mixer or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
• Place the thinly sliced meat in a mixing bowl and pour the marinade over it. Mix them well together while gently massaging the meat with your hands. (Wearing a food prep glove is very handy here!)Add the sesame oil and mix it into the meat. (I prefer adding the sesame oil separately as opposed to mixing it in the marinade sauce. I read somewhere that the oil can prevent the other sauce getting absorbed effectively into the meat.)Cover the bowl with cling wrap (or move the marinated meat into a glass container with a lid) and marinate the meat for at least 4 hours in the fridge. (If you have more time, you can also marinate it overnight to deepen the flavour even more).
• Preheat a skillet / bbq grill on medium high heat until well heated. Add the cooking oil and spread it well. Add the meat (and vegetables) and cook it on medium high to high heat for 3 to 5 mins (until the meat and vegetables cook to your desired doneness). Toss in the sesame seeds and stir them quickly.
• Serve the bulgogi with steamed rice and other Korean side dishes. (refer above for more tips)

KALBI (KOREAN BARBEQUED BEEF SHORT RIBS)

Steps:

• Preparation: Sprinkle brown sugar over beef and mix well to evenly coat. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while preparing marinade. In a bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Transfer beef into a large sealable freezer bag (you may need 2). Add marinade, press out excess air from bags, and seal. Turn bag over several times to ensure beef is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
• Heat gas or charcoal grill to medium-hot. Drain excess marinade off beef. Grill short ribs, turning once, to desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions, if desired. Serve whole pieces as a main course or cut into smaller pieces, using kitchen shears, for a starter or party nibble.

BULGOGI (KOREAN BARBECUED BEEF)

Steps:

• Score the meat, if necessary, and place between two pieces of plastic wrap, pound lightly with meat pounder, lightly, to tenderize. Slice the meat on the diagonal into thin strips. Place the meat in a shallow non-reactive baking dish. In a large bowl combine the marinade ingredients and pour them over the meat, mixing well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. Preheat the grill. Remove the meat from the marinade. Over high heat grill for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until meat is nicely browned. Alternately, the meat may be cooked in a very hot frying pan. Wrap a few pieces of beef in a lettuce leaf and all or any of the garnishes. Eat at once.;

KOREAN BEEF AND RICE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook beef and garlic over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until beef is no longer pink, breaking up beef into crumbles. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix brown sugar, soy sauce, oil and seasonings., Stir sauce into beef; heat through. Serve with rice. Sprinkle with green onions. Freeze option: Freeze cooled meat mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally.

KOREAN BEEF BBQ

Steps:

• To cut beef at 1/16th of an inch, it is easier if the meat is partially frozen.
• Combine brown sugar through garlic in a large zip-lock bag and stir.
• Add the beef slices and marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat and add beef, discarding remaining marinade.
• Cook approximately 8 minutes turning frequently, or until desired degree of doneness.
• If you prefer to grill, place a wire grilling basket coated with cooking spray on grill rack, and grill 8 minutes, turning frequently.
• Serve over jasmine rice.

KOREAN BARBECUE BEEF, MARINADE 1

Steps:

• 1. Trim the fat off the beef with a knife. Distribute the sugar evenly on the beef by sprinkling it on each piece. Allow beef to sit for 10 minutes.
• 2. In a separate bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, sugar, sake, and black pepper. Put aside.
• 3. Massage the beef with the kiwi juice using your hands. The kiwi works as a tenderizer. Add the soy sauce mixture and mix. Allow the beef to marinate for 10 minutes. Because the beef is thin, it doesn't require a long marinating time. Now it is ready to be barbecued. Ideal if grilled over smoked wood but just as good in a frying pan or skillet. Cook until browned, being careful not to overcook.
• 4. Last, to prepare dipping sauce, combine all sauce ingredients and cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve on the side.

BULGOGI (KOREAN GRILLED BEEF)

Steps:

• Wrap beef in plastic wrap or butcher paper and place in freezer for 1 to 2 hours to firm up.
• Cut beef across the grain into thin slices. If cooking in a skillet, slices should be less than 1/8 inch thick; do not worry if they are a bit ragged. If cooking on the grill, uniform slices, 1/8-inch thick, are best.
• In a food processor, combine garlic, pear, onion and ginger and process until very smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
• In a bowl or sealable plastic bag, combine steak, marinade, scallion, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar and pepper and mix well. Cover or seal, then refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• When ready to cook and serve, prepare garnishes. Lettuce leaves should be mounded in a large basket or platter; small dishes can hold remaining garnishes. Keep vegetables cold.
• If using a cast-iron grill pan or large skillet, heat over high heat. Add all the meat and its juices to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until most (but not all) of the liquid has evaporated and the meat begins to brown around the edges. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately, directly from the skillet (this will keep the meat hot). If using a charcoal or gas grill, heat to high. Working in batches if necessary, place the sliced meat on the grill and cook, turning often, just until cooked through and browned, about 2 minutes. If desired, heat an empty cast-iron skillet and use as a serving dish; this will keep the meat hot. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• To eat, lay a lettuce leaf open on your palm. Add a perilla leaf (if using), a small lump of rice, 1 or 2 pieces of meat and any other garnishes on top, then dab with sauce. Wrap by lifting up the edges of the lettuce leaf, then twisting them together to make a tight bundle. Eat each bundle in one bite, according to Korean tradition.

BULGOGI (KOREAN BARBECUED BEEF)

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, garlic, sugar, salt, black pepper, and MSG. Place beef, carrots, and onions in the bag; seal, and shake to coat the vegetables and beef with the sauce. Refrigerate for at least 2 1/2 hours. I prefer to marinate mine overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Remove meat and vegetables from marinade, and place on a large sheet of aluminum foil; seal. Discard marinade.
• Place on grill, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or to desired doneness.

KOREAN BARBECUED BEEF

Steps:

• Make marinade:
• Stir together marinade ingredients and reserve one fourth of marinade for sauce.
• Marinate steak, then broil:
• Put steak and remaining three fourths of marinade in a glass dish, turning steak to coat, and marinate at room temperature, turning once, 30 minutes. While steak is marinating, cut apples and mango into 1- by 1/4-inch sticks. Toss together with juice and chili sauce and season with salt.
• Preheat broiler.
• Broil steak on rack of a broiler pan 2 to 3 inches from heat until slightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes on each side for medium meat. Let steak stand 5 minutes. Cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then halve slices crosswise. Toss beef in reserved marinade with salt and pepper to taste and divide among lettuce leaves. Top with fruit and sesame seeds.
