Korean Beef

Hi,

This was a request from K. It's a great way to use a piece of beef.

1 1/2 pounds boneless beef (sirloin, top round or chuck)

Cut the beef across the grain in thin strips. "Across the grain" means, think of the beef like fabric and you can see the main way the beef is striped, cut across it, it'll make the meat more tender. Set aside.

6 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 green onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced (I think you can add more for 3-4 cloves total)
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoons crushed red pepper
Few turns of fresh black pepper

Mix the above ingredients in a bowl, add beef. Marinate for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, if you can.

2 tablespoons cooking oil

Heat a heavy frying pan over medium/high heat. When hot add the oil and wait a few minutes, when the oil is shimmering add the beef and marinade. Cook, stirring, until the beef is just browned.

The beef is delicious served over rice and with steamed veggies.

I hope you like this recipe, it's how I make bimbimbop. I'll give the recipe for the marinated veggies in another post.

Hugs,
