Korean Gogi Bokum Deep Fried Beef Slices Food

KOREAN GOGI BOKUM (DEEP FRIED BEEF SLICES)

Steps:

• Cut the beef as you would for stir fry, then pound each piece so it is very thin.
• Arrange beef single layer in a dish and sprinkle over it the green onion, leek & garlic.
• Mix the sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil & chili sauce together.
• Spoon over the beef.
• Marinate for 2 hours or more in the refrigerator.
• Heat the peanut oil in a wok until it is very hot.
• Fry each piece of beef for a few seconds only.
• Drain on paper towel.
• Serve at once over rice with Bulgogi sauce.

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)

DRY-FRIED BEEF

Steps:
