Bulgogi Wraps Korean Grilled Beef Wraps Recipe 485

Steps:

• Wrap beef in plastic wrap or butcher paper and place in freezer for 1 to 2 hours to firm up.
• Cut beef across the grain into thin slices. If cooking in a skillet, slices should be less than 1/8 inch thick; do not worry if they are a bit ragged. If cooking on the grill, uniform slices, 1/8-inch thick, are best.
• In a food processor, combine garlic, pear, onion and ginger and process until very smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
• In a bowl or sealable plastic bag, combine steak, marinade, scallion, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar and pepper and mix well. Cover or seal, then refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• When ready to cook and serve, prepare garnishes. Lettuce leaves should be mounded in a large basket or platter; small dishes can hold remaining garnishes. Keep vegetables cold.
• If using a cast-iron grill pan or large skillet, heat over high heat. Add all the meat and its juices to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until most (but not all) of the liquid has evaporated and the meat begins to brown around the edges. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately, directly from the skillet (this will keep the meat hot). If using a charcoal or gas grill, heat to high. Working in batches if necessary, place the sliced meat on the grill and cook, turning often, just until cooked through and browned, about 2 minutes. If desired, heat an empty cast-iron skillet and use as a serving dish; this will keep the meat hot. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• To eat, lay a lettuce leaf open on your palm. Add a perilla leaf (if using), a small lump of rice, 1 or 2 pieces of meat and any other garnishes on top, then dab with sauce. Wrap by lifting up the edges of the lettuce leaf, then twisting them together to make a tight bundle. Eat each bundle in one bite, according to Korean tradition.

Steps:

• Prepare Marinade and set aside 1/4 cup for drizzling in the wraps. Place sliced beef in freezer bag with marinade and marinate for 2 hours. Cook Rice Grill, broil or pan fry marinated beef for about 2 -3 min per side (depending on thickness) When cooked, slice into small strips against the grain. To Prepare Wraps: Heat Spinach Wrap over a flat pan or tortilla warmer, top with: 1 large leaf of Lettuce, rice, greens, drizzle of marinade, beef, pepper flakes, cilantro and finally 1 more small leaf of lettuce. Roll and tuck into Wraps. We use extra marinade to dip Wraps into, Can be served with spicy Korean pepper sauce (Kochujang) or other Asian pepper sauce for an extra kick. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Wrap the steak in plastic and place it in the freezer while you put together the marinade. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar, beer, garlic, scallions, pepper, sesame oil, honey and Asian pear. Take the steak out of the freezer and slice it across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Stir the steak into the marinade and let it sit for 30 minutes, while you build a very hot fire or preheat a gas grill to its highest setting.
• When the grill is very hot, sear the steak until nicely caramelized, 2 or 3 minutes on each side. Work in batches to avoid crowding the meat. Serve the beef with condiments and make ssam (Korean-style wraps) by folding a piece of steak or two, some rice, vegetables and herbs inside a lettuce leaf.

Steps:

• For the beef: Add the beef to a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon and slowly rendering the fat, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a large spoon remove half of the rendered fat and discard. Add the garlic, scallions and ginger and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
• For the sauce: Stir together the soy sauce, gochujang, honey and sesame oil in a small bowl. Stir some of the sauce into the beef, a few tablespoons at a time, until seasoned to your taste. Set aside.
• For the sticky rice: Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Combine the rice, oil and 1 1/2 cups water in a pressure cooker or Instant Pot®. Cook on high pressure, 8 minutes. Allow the steam to release slowly, for about 5 minutes, then remove the lid. Roll the beef, sticky rice, sauce and cucumber slices in lettuce leaves and eat.

Steps:

• Combine first 9 ingredients (soy - black pepper).
• Slice the steaks across the grain into thin slices.
• Place beef in resealable ziplock bag and pour soy mixture over. Let marinate in refridgerator for 2-12 hours, turning bag occoationally.
• Heat large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high to high heat. Pour beef and marinade into the skilled and cook until mixture is almost dry, 6-8 minute
• Toast sesame seeds and garlic in hot pan.
• (We had quite a bit of marinade left and it was wonderful spooned over some white rice).
• Serve with lettuce leaves, toasted sesame seeds and toasted garlic cloves and perhaps some hot sauce if you like it hot.
• You roll the beef and condiments up in the lettuce leaf and eat like a roll with your hands.
• Serve with white rice.

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick pan at medium-low for about 30 seconds.
• Add sesame seeds and toast, shaking or stirring pan occasionally, until seeds are a nice golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Set aside.
• Combine soy sauce, sugar, garlic, green onions, ginger, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds.
• Stir until the sugar has more or less dissolved.
• Add meat, tossing to coat.
• Marinate 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• Grill meat on a rack over hot coals (or in a high broiler) until beef firms up and slightly charred.
• You want that nice glossy brown look, not the sweaty grayish look.
