I find myself making bulgogi -Korean marinated beef - a couple of times a month, mainly because it’s easy to make and is an acceptable item to take to the office for lunch. (Read – not as pungent as some other dishes.)
But every now and then, I get bored of eating the same thing… so I reinvent it a little bit. These are not really “recipes,” but a reinventions. That’s how the best things are created!
So here are a couple of new ways to enjoy bulgogi:
Bulgogi is sliced marinated beef and can be found in packs in the Asian grocery store. If you don’t have one nearby, ask your butcher to give you very thin slices of tenderloin.
The marinade for bulgogi is a soy sauce based one. You don’t need a ton of it to give the beef great flavor. Just make sure you have time to let it marinate overnight, then grilled. If you have a grill, use it! It will taste extra yummy that way.
