Bulgogi can be thought of as the Korean national dish; I learned how to make it while studying in Seoul. The Asian marinated steak—paired with rice, lettuce and chili paste—is a simple, flavorful, and authentic Korean staple.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. For the marinade, mix the soy sauce, sugar, sesame seeds and black pepper in a small bowl. Finely mince the garlic and scallion whites and add to the marinade.
  2. Slice the steak against the grain and put the slices in a large baking dish. Coat with the marinade and allow to sit, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
  3. For the chili sauce, mix together the gochujang and sweet miso and set aside.
  4. To cook the meat, heat 2 tablespoons (30ml) oil in a large nonstick skillet on high. Add half the marinated meat, leaving any excess marinade behind, and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Remove to a plate and repeat. Serve with the lettuce leaves for wrapping along with the rice and chili paste sauce.
