Big Ol Bulgogi Bowl Food

KOREAN BULGOGI BOWL

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Mix in sesame oil.
• Combine brown sugar, soy sauce, water, Asian pear, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a food processor. Blend until combined but still slightly chunky. Pour mixture into the skillet with the beef and cook over medium heat until most of the liquid evaporates, 7 to 9 minutes.
• Place 1/4 the cooked brown rice in the bottom of an individual serving bowl. Top with a portion of beef mixture, lettuce, cucumber, red bell pepper, and sesame seeds. Repeat with remaining rice, beef, and toppings.

Steps:

• Prepare rice according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, garlic, oyster sauce, green onion (just the white part) corn starch, salt and pepper until the sugar is dissolved; set a side.
• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté sliced onion. Once translucent, add ground beef and sir occasionally for 5 to 7 minutes or until beef is no longer pink.
• Drain half of the liquid from the pan and add sauce. Stir to incorporate and let simmer for 2 to 3 minutes or until sauce thickens. Serve on top of the white rice with garnishes.

GROUND BEEF BULGOGI BOWLS

Steps:

• Cook the brown rice according to package directions. Prep the vegetables. Normally I like to serve bulgogi with raw vegetables but you could also quickly saute the vegetables if you prefer them cooked.
• Stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, and green onions.
• Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add the beef and brown for 4-6 minutes, breaking up as you go. Add the soy sauce mixture and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Serve over rice with vegetables.
• Serve over rice with vegetables. If desired, add some fresh cilantro, a fried egg, and kimchi.

BULGOGI

Steps:

• Slice the semi-frozen beef into 1/8-inch-thick slices.
• Put the soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, garlic, brown sugar, gochujang and green onions in a large bowl and mix together until the sugar is dissolved.
• Add 1/4 cup water to the mixture, stir well and add the beef. Let it marinate for at least 3 hours or overnight. (Cover and refrigerate if marinating for longer than 2 hours.)
• Heat a large skillet or grill until hot. Add the oil to the skillet (or brush your grill grates) and cook the beef until just cooked through, turning once.
• Garnish with sesame seeds.
