How To Make Korean BBQ Beef At Home
Korean meat dishes are not very well-known outside of Korea and Japan but they have been gaining recognition around the world lately. Korean cuisine has a strong focus on grilled meats and ways to cook them, using grills from the simplest potash tablesets to built-in ovens or standalone charcoal, gas or electric cookers set up for outdoor cooking. This will be a guide about how to make Korean BBQ Beef at home.
Ingredients
If you love Korean BBQ, then you'll definitely want to try making it at home! All you need is some beef, a few spices, and a grill.
Beef is the key ingredient in Korean BBQ and there are a few different cuts that you can use. For this dish, we recommend using chuck steak or flank steak. You'll want to slice the beef thinly so that it cooks evenly on the grill.
The next step is to marinate the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. This will give the beef lots of flavor and make it extra tender. Just let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or up to 12 hours) before grilling.
When you're ready to cook, just fire up the grill and cook the beef for a few minutes per side. Serve with some rice and vegetables, and enjoy!
Instructions
1) Preheat your grill, or heat a heavy skillet on the stove over medium-high heat.
2) thinly slice the steak against the grain into strips.
3) Mix together the marinade ingredients in a ziplock bag or bowl. Add the beef and massage it around so all the slices are coated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes, or up to a few hours if you have the time.
4) When you're ready to cook, remove the beef from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.
5) Grill or cook the beef strips for a few minutes per side, until they're nicely browned and cooked through. Serve immediately!
