Korean Marinated Beef (Bulgogi)

Ingredients for Korean Marinated Beef (Bulgogi)

• 60ml soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon sugar

• 2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil

• 1 bunch spring onions (white and pale green parts separated from greens), minced (1/2 cup)

• 1 tablespoon minced garlic

• 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger

• 3 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

• 450g flank steak, cut across the grain into very thin slices (no more than 1/8 inch thick)

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

• Accompaniments: butter lettuce or other soft-leaf lettuce

• thinly sliced garlic

• packaged kimchi*

• steamed white rice

Stir together soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, white and pale green spring onions, garlic, ginger, and 2 tablespoons sesame seeds in a bowl until sugar is dissolved. Add steak and toss to coat, then marinate 15 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until just smoking, then add steak in 1 layer and sauté, turning over occasionally, until browned and just cooked through, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with spring onion greens and remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, then serve with accompaniments.

*Available at Asian markets and many supermarkets.
