Korean Bulgogi - Recipe

Well I made the tofu as the appetizer and bulgogi as the main, so here's part two of my dinner tonight! Bulgogi is a Korean beef dish, thinly sliced, and marinated in a soy based sauce that can be found in many Korean and Asian restaurants across North America. One of my favourite burgers is a bulgogi inspired beef patty with lettuce, tomato, onion and cheese, but that's another time.. another story. The dish can either be served in a lettuce wrap with toppings, such as fried garlic, jalapeño or bean pasta, among others, or over rice, like my dinner tonight. The bast way to cook this is hot and fast, either in the frying pan, or on the grill. The beef should be marinated for at least 30 minutes, with several hours allowing for the full flavour of the marinate to be absorbed by the beef. With that being said, we need less talk, more eating, so here you go.

1 pound of thinly sliced steak
1 yellow onion
1 carrot
3 stems of green onion

1 cup of rice or;
lettuce and any of the following:

Steps:

2) Add all the marinate ingredients together in a bowl, mix well, and pour over the steak.Set aside in fridge and let marinate for a few hours.
3) Cut the onion into strips and julienne the carrot and add to marinated mixture, stirring well.
