Bulgogi - Easy Korean BBQ Beef. Easy to make meal with big flavors: sweet, fancy, spicy. Perfect comfort food. <

Bulgogi Over RiceEasy to make, slightly sweet, perfectly salty, with a touch of heat, hands down, bulgogi is my favorite Korean dish.    

The first time I had a bulgogi at Korean BBQ joint it was love at first bite.  Since then I have been attempting to recreate the dish at home and I think I have finally nailed the marinade.  This dish is all about the marinade and the key is Korean pear.  The pear has a magical property that seems to transform the meat.  It super tender and when cooking the sugar caramelizes and forms a delicious char.   

Bulgogi

The dish is a cinch to make. I typically prepare the marinade the night before I make the dish. Then, before heading to work I add the meat to the marinade and let it do its thing.  When I get home from work I make some rice and then cook the bulgogi while the rice is cook.  I should add bulgogi makes great lunch leftovers.  Or for a real treat, top with a fried egg and  eat the leftovers for breakfast.  Regardless of when you eat bulgogi your going to love it!

    How do you think the marinade would work on tempeh? Sounds really good so I want to try it.
