Hi! I'm Natasha Levitan for About.com. Today I'm going to show you how to make bulgogi, Korean barbecue beef.

Korean Barbecue Beef Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need:
  • 1 pounds sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 5 scallions
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste

Mix the Bulgogi Marinade

In a medium bowl add ginger and garlic paste, soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil and mix everything together well.

Prepare the Beef and Onions

Slice your beef stead into thin strips. Cut off the white part of the scallions and theen cut them vertically into thin strips, then chop them across into medium pieces. Into a medium bowl, add your beef and onions and mix them.

Marinate the Barbecue Beef

Then pour in the sauce and mix everything together so the beef is covered well. Cover the bowl and let everything marinate for at least 3 hours

Fry the Barbecue Beef

The best way to make bulgogi is to grill them but if you don't have a grill you can pan fry them. Heat a tablespoon of oil on a medium heat, then add your marinated meat and fry it until it turns rich brown color. You can serve it with a side of kimchi.
