Ingredients

• 2T Bulgogi Marinade Blend or Korean BBQ Blend From Lex’s Pantry

3. Add spice mixture to the beef and mix evenly to coat all the meat.
4. Cover and marinate from 1 hour to overnight in the refrigerator. 
5. Sear your beef slices on your barbecue over high heat or stir-fry in a wok over high heat for a more saucy bulgogi. (Which is our favourite method)
6. Serve over rice with salad and a selection of your favourite kimchi and side dishes.

Alternatives Ways to Cook your Bulgogi

Traditionally Bulgogi is cooked on a barbecue or tabletop grill, so these are great options, but your cast iron pan on high for quick sear will produce a great bulgogi as well. 

Left over bulgogi?

We've used it as pizza topping, sandwich meat and in rice paper wraps. So very good.
