Bulgogi
Korean Marinated Beef Recipe
I learned to make bulgogi from a professional chef while living in South Korea. Bulgogi is a traditional Korean recipe that can be found in various forms from McDonalds to high end restaurants. It is delicious and simple to make once you've acquired all the ingredients.
It can be served in traditional form with many side dishes such as steamed rice, pickled radish, kimchi or sprout salad. You could also serve it in more of a western tradition with salad and potatoes or rice. Pan fry it on the stove or cook it out on the grill for an authentic Korean dish that everyone is sure to love.
