Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon mirin (or rice wine)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • Optional toppings: sliced green onions, sesame seeds, kimchi, shredded carrots

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, mirin, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.
  2. Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  3. Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  4. Cook the beef for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
  5. Serve the cooked bulgogi beef over warm cooked rice.
  6. Add your favorite optional toppings like sliced green onions, sesame seeds, kimchi, or shredded carrots.

Notes

  • Thinly sliced beef is key for quick cooking and tenderness. You can often find pre-sliced beef for bulgogi at Asian grocery stores.
  • Adjust the sweetness and saltiness of the marinade to your preference.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
