Ingredients

Steamed white rice
Bulgogi, recipe follows
1 carrot, julienned
Cooked bean sprouts, sauteed in a little sesame oil or peanut oil and seasoned with salt
Cooked spinach, sauteed in a little sesame or peanut oil and seasoned with salt
4 shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced and sauteed in peanut oil and seasoned with salt
1 egg, cooked over easy
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
Soy sauce, to taste
Gochuchang Paste, recipe follows

Directions

*Cook's Note: This can be done in a regular bowl or a hot stone bowl. If it's in a hot stone bowl, the rice becomes crunchy because it's still cooking.

Put cooked rice in large slightly shallow bowl. Place bulgogi (with juices from cooked meat) and veggies on top of rice but place separately so you can see each ingredient beautifully placed on rice. Put egg on top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and drizzle with sesame oil and soy sauce.

When ready to eat, mix all ingredients together with some gochuchang paste, to taste. The bibimpap should be moist and not dry. Add more sesame oil and gochuchang paste, to taste.

Bulgogi:

1 pound rib-eye

Marinade:

1/2 cup soy sauce

1 Korean pear or Asian pear, grated with juices

2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic

1/2 small white onion, grated or sliced

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

2 tablespoons light brown sugar

1 tablespoon honey

2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

1 tablespoon ground red pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1 (20-ounce) bottle lemon-lime soda, optional (recommended: Sprite or 7-Up)

Place rib-eye in freezer for about 30 minutes so that it is easier to thinly slice. When partially frozen, remove from freezer and thinly slice. Set aside.

Whisk together all the marinade ingredients in a large baking dish. Add the thinly sliced beef and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight; it is best if marinated overnight.

Heat grill to high. Remove beef from marinade and grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside until ready to compile Bibimbap.

Gochuchang Paste (seasoned red pepper paste):

4 tablespoons gochuchang (available at Korean grocers)

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

2 teaspoons sesame oil

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well.

SO DELICIOUS and EASY
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

you can pretty much use whatever vegetables you like with this dish and it will turn out. I ended up sauteing all my veggies... with a small amount of sesame oil and soy/salt depending if i wanted the color to change or not. i did end up using more water and sesame oil in the gochuchang sauce to thin it out like I am use to. Like the episode did, I marinated the meat in the soda and then the drained it. then i marinated the meat for a few hours. I skipped the whole freezer part to cut the meat and just did strips which worked well. YUM!Read more

You must try this!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Outstanding! I made this for dinner tonight with sirloin instead of ribeye and marinated it for about 3 hours. The flavor... of the meat was fantastic. This is going to become a new favorite in my house. I think it was better than the dish we had at a Korean restaurant a few weeks ago. I also made the marinated cucumbers from this episode which went very well with the Bibimbap, nice balance of flavors. My kids wouldn't eat it, but that was fine, more for hubby and I!Read more

yum!

This takes some time, but worth the effort! I used chicken, not beef, and cooked it in some of the marinade on the stove,... and it was some of the most delicious chicken ever.Read more

Boiled, not Grilled!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is excellent. I've enjoyed Bibimbap for years in restaurants and always been hesitant to try to make it on my... own. One other correction based on what they said on the show - Bobby's guest clearly stated that the ribeye needed to be BOILED in the marinade juices and NOT grilled. The short ribs were grilled. So you would throw the meat and all the marinade into a frying pan over medium high heat until cooked through.Read more
