Beef Bulgogi with Zucchini Noodles

Method

  1. 1

    Combine all ingredients for marinade and mix well. Place steak slices in a heavy duty ziplock bag, pour marinade into the bag and seal tightly

  2. 2

    Massage marinade into the steak slices so marinade is properly distributed. Let sit (in room temperature, not in fridge) for at least 30 minutes, 1 – 2 hours recommended.

  3. 3

    Grill steak slices on a preheated BBQ, or on a cast iron pan on stovetop. Steak slices are very thin, so the meat will cook very quickly, about 20 seconds per side.

  4. 4

    Once meat is thoroughly browned with caramelized edges, place on platter or set aside on the cooler side of the grill. Repeat steps for the remainder of the meat.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle sesame seed garnish and some chopped green onions just before serving. Enjoy on top of zucchini noodles for a healthy low-carb meal, with Korean traditional side dishes (such as kimchi or pickled cucumbers).

Notes

If using fresh steaks, place them in freezer for 1-2 hours, until they are slightly frozen but are still able to be sliced with a knife. Freezing the meat ahead of time will make it easier for you to make the thin slices required for this recipe. If using frozen steaks, thaw for 1-2 hours in room temperature, or until they have reached consistency where you are able to slice them with a knife. Another alternative is to purchase pre-sliced meat at an Asian grocery store. Most Asian grocery stores (especially a Korean grocery store) carry thinly sliced beef, non-marinated/seasoned exactly for the purpose of cooking Bulgogi. Mirin is Japanese cooking wine, very similar to sake but with more sugar and lower alcohol content. It is a staple in most Asian kitchens/pantries, and can be found in any Asian grocery stores. If not available, feel free to substitute with either Japanese sake or Korean shochu.
