Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon mirin (rice wine)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

- Optional toppings: sliced green onions, sesame seeds, sliced mushrooms
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, mirin, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated beef to the hot skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook the beef for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.
- Serve the bulgogi immediately over cooked rice.
- Add your favorite optional toppings like green onions, sesame seeds, or mushrooms.
Notes
- For thinner slices, partially freeze the beef before slicing.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar.
- If you don’t have mirin, you can substitute with dry sherry or white wine.
