Korean Sirloin Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together in a small bowl soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, sesame oil, cayenne and garlic.
• Pour marinade into a large ziploc bag, then add steak and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours turning bag several times.
• Heat a ridged grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Remove the steak from the bag, pour the marinade into a 1-quart saucepan and reserve. Pat the steak dry with paper towel and cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side for a medium rare steak.
• Remove steak to a cutting board and let stand for 10 minutes.
• Add 2 tbsp of water to the marinade in the saucepan and heat to boiling over high heat, boil for 2 minutes.
• Slice steak into thin strips diagonally against the grain. Serve with the cooked marinade.

Steps:

• Combine yellow onion, white and light green parts of green onions, soy sauce, sugar, sesame seeds, garlic, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, ginger, and black pepper in a bowl until marinade is well mixed. Add steak slices to marinade; cover and refrigerate, 1 hour to 1 day.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook and stir steak and marinade together in the hot skillet, adding honey to caramelize the steak, until steak is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Garnish bulgogi with green parts of green onions.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the soy sauce, sugar, sesame seeds, sesame oil, shallots, garlic, and mirin. Add the meat, and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the meat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until no longer pink. Serve with salad or fried rice.

Steps:

• Whisk the soy sauce, gochujang, honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and half of the garlic together in a medium bowl. Transfer 3 tablespoons of the soy marinade to a small bowl and set aside for serving.
• Add the beef to the remaining marinade and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients. (The beef will absorb most of the marinade so there won't be a need to strain at the end.)
• Meanwhile, stir the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil, remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and remaining garlic together in a small bowl until combined. Fill a large pot two-thirds full of salted water and bring to a boil. Add the spinach and cook until just tender, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Drain, let cool, and squeeze the spinach dry. Coarsely chop the spinach and transfer it to a medium bowl. Toss with half of the sesame sauce and season with salt if desired. Set aside until ready to serve.
• Toss the cucumber in a small bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar and remaining sesame marinade; season with salt. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat until the oil shimmers. Add the sprouts and season with salt. Cook the sprouts, tossing often, until translucent and crisp tender, about 2 minutes. Place in a mound on a serving platter.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the same skillet over high heat. Add the carrot, season with salt and cook, tossing often, until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Place in a mound on the platter.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in same skillet over high heat. Add the bell pepper, season with salt and cook, tossing often, until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Place in a mound on the platter.
• If making fried eggs, heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in same skillet over high heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, leaving space around each one, and cook until the whites are set and the edges are crisp, about 3 minutes. Season with salt; transfer to a plate.
• Working in 2 batches, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in same skillet over high and cook the marinated beef, turning once, until browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per batch, adding another tablespoon of oil to the skillet between batches. Transfer each batch to the platter. Add the cucumbers to the platter.
• Divide the rice among 4 bowls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions. Serve the platter of ingredients for everyone to compose their own bowls. Pass the reserved soy marinade.
