Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s make Baek Jong-won’s signature bulgogi! It’s perfect for entertaining guests, special occasions, or just a delightful weeknight meal. This recipe is sure to impress everyone.
Step 2
First, it’s time to marinate the 600g of thinly sliced beef. In a large bowl, combine 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp minced garlic, 1 Tbsp corn syrup (adjust sweetness to your preference; you can substitute with sugar), 1 Tbsp plum extract, 1 Tbsp fish sauce (for added depth of flavor), and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the vegetables. Slice the large green onion into thick pieces, separating the white and green parts. Thinly slice the onion and julienne the carrot. If using shiitake mushrooms, remove the stems and slice them thinly. Add these prepared vegetables to the marinated beef and gently mix them together. Ensuring all ingredients are well-coated with the marinade is key.
Step 4
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the marinated beef and vegetables. Initially, the vegetables will release their moisture, creating a saucy consistency. Cook until the liquid has slightly reduced and the beef has changed color to a delicious brown. Be careful not to overcook, as the meat can become tough. Finally, sprinkle with 1 tsp of toasted sesame seeds for an extra nutty aroma. Your delicious bulgogi is ready!
