In the best examples I've had of beef bulgogi in Korean restaurants, the meat, while tender, still had a little bit of chewiness to it. You can control texture by the thickness or thinness of the slices and how long you marinate them. But this is a fairly fast-acting marinade, so I go with an hour or two.Ingredients | Beef Stroganoff Sauce Mix
1 ¼ pounds boneless beef short ribs, sliced across the grain in 1/8-inch thick slices
4 cloves garlic, finely crushed
¼ cup grated yellow onion
1 tablespoon freshly grated gingerroot
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon light brown sugar, or to taste
⅓ cup freshly grated Asian pear
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon Korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for brushing skillet
2 cups hot steamed rice, or as needed
2 sliced green onion tops for garnish
Directions
Mix garlic, grated onion, grated ginger, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar together in a mixing bowl. Stir in grated pear, soy sauce, and chile flakes.
Transfer meat to marinade and toss to coat on all sides. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.
Season meat with salt and a drizzle of vegetable oil. Toss.
Brush a cast iron skillet with a little vegetable oil and place over high heat. When skillet is very hot, add beef in a single layer and cook until meat begins to caramelize around the edges and moisture begins to evaporate, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve over hot rice and top with green onion slices.
You can marinate the beef for up to 12 hours, but I have good results with a 1- to 2-hour marination time.
