Bulgogi is a popular Korean dish that consists of sliced beef, marinated in a blend of soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and other spices, and grilled or pan-fried. The word Bulgogi means fire meat, as it is often cooked over an open flame. Nowadays, many people prefer an ungrilled version over the traditional grilled one for indoor cooking. It is usually served with steamed rice, lettuce, or other leafy greens to wrap the meat in.

Instructions

1.In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, ginger powder, granulated sugar, sesame oil, water, black pepper, seasoning salt, sesame seeds, and chopped green onions.
2.Grate the carrots and add to the marinade.
3.Cut the partially frozen flank steak across the grain into slices, add to the marinade and mix well.
4.Set aside the bowl of meat and marinade in a refrigerator for about 2 hours, mixing occasionally. Then allow it to reach room temperature before cooking.
5.Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil and the beef. Cook until browned.
6.Dish up the Bulgogi and serve with steamed rice. Garnish with additional sesame seeds if desired.
