How to cook Bulgogi
To put it very simply, it’s as follows.
To start, thinly slice your choice of beef.
Popular cuts include sirloin or tenderloin. Then, prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, minced green onions, sesame oil, and black pepper in a bowl.
Mix these ingredients thoroughly until the sugar is dissolved. Next, add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is well coated.
Let the beef marinate for at least 30 minutes to an hour to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat
Once the beef has marinated, heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
Place the marinated beef onto the grill, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the beef for about 3-5 minutes on each side, flipping occasionally, until it is cooked through and caramelized on the edges.
