Korean beef bulgogi skewers Recipe
Korean beef bulgogi skewers is a New Year's Eve recipe for 4 - 8 people, takes only 10 mins; recipe has sirloin steak, soy sauce and golden caster sugar.
Ingredients
- Garlic Clove - 2 garlic cloves
- Spring Onion - spring onions, thinly sliced, to serve
- Chilli Flakes - 1 tsp chilli flakes or Korean chilli powder
- Lime - juice 1 lime
- Soy Sauce - 2 tbsp soy sauce
- Sesame Oil - 1 tbsp sesame oil, plus extra for frying
- Ginger - thumb-sized piece ginger, peeled and sliced
- Lettuce - lettuce leaves, to serve
- Golden Caster Sugar - 2 tbsp golden caster sugar
- Pineapple - 50g chopped fresh pineapple
- Sirloin Steak - 300g sirloin steak, fat removed
- Sesame Seed - toasted sesame seeds, to serve
- Chilli Sauce - 2 tbsp sriracha or other chilli sauce
- Mirin - 2 tbsp mirin
- Kecap Manis - 2 tbsp kecap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce)
Instructions
- Put the steak in the freezer for 30 mins - it will firm up and be much easier to slice thinly. Meanwhile, make a marinade. Put the soy, sugar, mirin, ginger, garlic, pineapple, chilli flakes and oil in a food processor. Blitz until smooth, then pour into a bowl.
- When the meat is semi-frozen, thinly slice into 25 pieces and add to the marinade. Chill until ready to use, but don't leave for longer than 2 hrs or the pineapple juice will break down the meat too much.
- Meanwhile, soak small wooden skewers in water for 10 mins. When ready to serve, thread a piece of meat onto each skewer. Heat a griddle pan, or frying pan, and brown skewers for 1-2 mins each side or until grill marks appear. Add a little more oil to the pan if needed.
- Mix together the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Serve the skewers with lettuce, sesame seeds, spring onions and dipping sauce.
