Korean beef Bulgolgi is a perfect mid week, budget friendly, quick and tasty dish. Throw it all in a bowl, mix, add some oil to a wok, stir fry the mixture for 6-8 minutes and garnish with some shallots (scallions) and toasted sesame seeds. Done!
Bulgolgi is usually made with scotch fillet or other more expensive cuts that are thinly sliced. Using mince (ground) beef cuts down on expense and time.
the marinade
You can prepare the marinade and meat the day before cooking. Feel free to modify the ratios to your taste. Add a little more chilli, sesame oil or soy to your liking.
the wok or frypan
Heat your wok or pan till its very hot, then add your oil and swirl around the wok so that the sides are coated in oil. Quickly add your meat and keep stir frying it, breaking up the mince as you go.
what to serve with the Bulgolgi
Bulgolgi is typically served with steamed rice and kimchee. A fried egg on the top also goes down a treat. Or try serving your Bulgolgi with crisp, cold lettuce cups which are great for entertaining.
