Ingredients
  

Marinade
  • 1 cup Soy Sauce Low sodium preferred
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar Brown sugar can be used
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil

Method
 

Marinate the Beef
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, black pepper, and chopped green onion to create the marinade.

Grill the Beef

  2. Remove the beef from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the beef slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
Serve
  1. Transfer the grilled beef bulgogi to a serving platter. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onion.
  2. Serve hot with rice and side dishes like kimchi.

Notes

For a spicier version, add gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) to the marinade.
