Ground Beef Bulgogi

This recipe was recommended by Landon's friend and is from the Aaron & Claire site.  Two words . . . SUPER ONO.  Four more words . . . SUPER EASY TO MAKE.

Wendell and Landon ate it wrapped in lettuce.  I ate it with jasmine rice.  Twice.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 green onions (1 oz, 30g)

  • 1/2 yellow onion

  • 2 shiitake mushrooms (or button mushrooms) (1.8 oz, 50g)

  • 1 green chili (optional)

  • 1 mild red chili (optional)

  • 1.3 lb (600g) ground beef

  • 2 tbsp neutral-tasting oil

  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil

  • 5 cups steamed rice, divided

  • generous pinch of toasted sesame seeds

  • Bulgogi Marinade:
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 2 tbsp mirin

  • 2.5 tbsp oyster sauce

  • 2 tbsp minced garlic

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • black pepper, to taste

  • small pinch MSG (optional)

DIRECTIONS

  • Prep Vegetables
  • Thinly slice the green onions: the white part to stir-fry and the green part for garnish.
  • Finely dice half an onion and mushrooms. Thinly slice the chilies (if using). 
  • Make Bulgogi Marinade
  • In a small container, mix together soy sauce, sugar, mirin, oyster sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, black pepper to taste, and a pinch of MSG (if using). 
  • To a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, mushrooms, and marinade. Give it a good mix. 
  • Cook Bulgogi
  • In a wok (or pan), heat the oil (2 tbsp) over medium-high heat. Once it gets nice and hot, add the white part of the green onions and onion. Saute for about 3 minutes or until they start to go brown.
  • Add the beef mixture and cook for about 7 to 8 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Make sure to break up the beef and keep stirring it. 
  • Turn the heat off. Add the chili peppers (if using), green onions, and sesame oil (1/2 tbsp). Give it a final mix.
  • To serve, get some rice on a plate and top it off with your bulgogi. Garnish with some extra green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with some salad greens or kimchi. Enjoy~!

this would go good with my latest addiction for bibimbap! Don Quijote sells the veggies for $6.99. Palama sells a set that includes the bulgogi for $9. Just need to fry egg and of course rice! They both come with kochojung.

I like your 6 words = my kind of recipe. So, it is that good and that easy? Another one I gotta try.

V, I think I'll go look for that set next time I'm at Palama.

Aunty, for real, that good and that easy! But the frying part did take more than 7 to 8 minutes to reduce even after I removed some of the liquid.

I would top off that dish with a soft boiled egg. Initially, I thought it was Sisiq, the filapino dish.
