How to make Bulgogi (Korean BBQ Beef)

[@shellsw7898]

i lost my mom a few years ago and she was fresh off the boat korean. everything she made was so amazing and one of my biggest regrets is never learning how she made her korean food. i couldn’t help but cry watching this video, thank you!

[@RubyTwilite]

You can learn through KZbin. My mom never wrote down recipes either and now everyone is gone so finding those recipes was not just about food but of reclaiming memories. Do it. It'll be good for your heart.

[@PinkAlphaMom]

I just made this for my boyfriend and I thought he was going to lick the plate! Lol. Bulgogi is his favorite comfort food that his lovely Korean grandma makes for him. He hasn't seen her in a year (because he moved 5 hours away) so I decided to make this for him for his birthday. It was a hit! Thank you for this video.

10/10! This recipe came out better than most of the Korean restaurants I have eaten at. You provided some great tips that I had never tried like the kiwi as a tenderizer, partially freezing the meet to get thinner slices, and cooking in one pan then transferring to another to get them seared. You are amazing and thank you for posting this video.

This is my favorite bulgogi recipe so far. I never knew I could substitute Korean pear puree with an onion and it was delicious. My husband was so happy 😊 Also, thank you for the cooking tip of not crowding the pan. I cooked in smaller batches and the marinade was able to reduce into the beef making it not as broth-y.

Thank you. :) I love bulgogi and usually like to learn recipes for my favorite foods, but needing the thinly cut beef had me feeling a bit intimidated. The freezer trick is going to be super helpful.

[@Kimchimari]

Yay! Glad to hear that the freezer trick was helpful. Thank you

[@billrockmaker]

I have found that using a Vegitable such as pear or kiwi to tenderize the meat makes it mushy. I prefer to use a better cut of beef such as ribeye and leave out the tenderizer. I believe most people resort to tenderizers just because they don’t have access or cannot afford high-quality meat.

[@Kimchimari]

Well, I appreciate the feedback - But in my experience, the meat turns mushy only if you use too much. Never more than 1/2 kiwi for 5 lbs of meat. If you use just the right amount, it comes out perfect. But of course, if you don't need to use a tenderizer then that's great.

[@verneshiahall8041]

Goes better if you have green kiwi fruit. Nicer flavour! I still grow the old ones, very hairy but dark green and full of flavour!

[@Kimberly-gq8zv]

Very delicious. I tried it today

[@Kimchimari]

That's wonderful! Thank you so much.

[@BriVanessa]

My only concern is finding the right cut of meat to cook it, with beef i don't like when i can taste the over powering beefy/ irony taste if that makes sense. I bought some bulgogi marinate just in case i couldn't make my own due to finding the right type of ingredients . (very far from any korean market) Today i made some with beef i bought few weeks ago however the beef was more strong flavor. I will try the cuts you mention. Thank you for this simple home made recipe!

[@Kimchimari]

Well, ribeye is the best cut but it should be cut thinly against the grain. You can also do sirloin or even flank steak cuts but again sliced thinly against the grain. If you don't like the beefy taste, you could briefly soak the meat in water or just rinse it to remove excess blood (which gives you the irony taste). Good luck!

[@Kimchimari]

Yes, half would be too much - my recipe says to use 2 Tbs pear for 1 lb beef. So do you want a side dish to pair with this bulgogi? You can make a few side dishes - like cucumber salad, potato salad or lettuce salad. You can probably find one from here - kimchimari.com/15-korean-salads/ Good luck!

[@bubbarabbit305]

Is it okay to use stir fry steak? That's all my market has to offer

[@Kimchimari]

Sure - if you can buy the most tender cuts like ribeye, that would work best. And be sure to use some tenderizer like pear, kiwi or onions. Good luck!

[@michaelstansfield717]

If I wanna cook it in the oven, what is temperature, and how many minutes does it need to cook

[@Kimchimari]

Try 450 F for 10 min or so until they are nicely browned. I would also turn it over mid way to ensure even cooking. You can also use the broiler - I would check after 5 min to see doneness.

[@guyk4373]

Can you cut longer strips that are easier to grill? I'm planning a party and want to grill the meat and serving on noodles.

[@Kimchimari]

The key is to cut it against the grain so if cutting longer means it will go with the grain then you will end up with tougher meat. You may then want to grill a whole brisket (use my Kalbi marinade) or boneless short ribs and then slice that to serve?

[@Kimchimari]
