Asian Fire Meat Food

ASIAN FIRE BEEF

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, and red onion.
• Stir in the black pepper, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, leeks and carrot.
• Mix in the meat by hand to ensure even coating.
• Cover, and let marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Brush the bottom half of a wok with cooking oil, and heat over med-high heat.
• Put in all of the meat and marinade at once, and cook stirring constantly. The meat will be cooked after just a few minutes.
• Remove from heat, and serve with rice or noodles.
• For Korean style fire meat, roll the meat mixture up in a leaf of red lettuce.

BULGOGI (KOREAN BBQ BEEF)

Steps:

• Blend the marinade ingredients in a mixer or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
• Place the thinly sliced meat in a mixing bowl and pour the marinade over it. Mix them well together while gently massaging the meat with your hands. (Wearing a food prep glove is very handy here!)Add the sesame oil and mix it into the meat. (I prefer adding the sesame oil separately as opposed to mixing it in the marinade sauce. I read somewhere that the oil can prevent the other sauce getting absorbed effectively into the meat.)Cover the bowl with cling wrap (or move the marinated meat into a glass container with a lid) and marinate the meat for at least 4 hours in the fridge. (If you have more time, you can also marinate it overnight to deepen the flavour even more).
• Preheat a skillet / bbq grill on medium high heat until well heated. Add the cooking oil and spread it well. Add the meat (and vegetables) and cook it on medium high to high heat for 3 to 5 mins (until the meat and vegetables cook to your desired doneness). Toss in the sesame seeds and stir them quickly.
• Serve the bulgogi with steamed rice and other Korean side dishes. (refer above for more tips)
