Easy Beef Bulgogi Bowls

• servings: 4 servings
• total time: 2 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1 Tablespoon sesame oil

2 Tablespoons chili garlic sauce or Gochujang Chili Sauce, or more to taste

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

2 Tablespoons minced garlic

2 Tablespoons minced ginger

1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots

2 pounds ribeye or top sirloin steaks, cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices (See Kelly’s Note)

2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

3 cups cooked rice

4 fried eggs

1 cup homemade or store-bought kimchi

1 English cucumber, cut into ribbons

Directions

Make the beef bulgogi:

In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger and shallots.

Add the sliced beef to the bowl with the marinade and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate the beef for a minimum of 2 hours and up to overnight.

Heat a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the vegetable oil then using a slotted spoon, add the marinated beef, searing it quickly on all side and being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Transfer the beef to a plate.

Assemble the bowls:

Divide the rice among four serving bowls and top it with the beef bulgogi.

Top each bowl with a fried egg, a portion of kimchi and cucumber ribbons. Serve immediately.

Kelly’s Note:

To thinly slice the steak, place it in the freezer for 30 minutes to help it firm up before using a sharp knife to cut it into thin slices.
