ingredients
- 1.5 pounds thinly sliced beef sirloin
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Lettuce leaves (Butter, Bibb, or Romaine)
- Optional toppings: sliced green onions, sesame seeds
steps
- 1.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, gochujang, honey, and black pepper until well combined.
- 2.
Place the beef slices in a ziplock bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and ensure the beef is well coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
- 3.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade, allowing any excess sauce to drip off.
- 4.
Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Grill the beef for about 2-3 minutes per side until slightly charred and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- 5.
Transfer the beef to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it into thin strips.
- 6.
Assemble the lettuce wraps by placing a few slices of beef onto each lettuce leaf. Add sliced green onions and sesame seeds on top, if desired.
- 7.
Serve immediately and enjoy the flavorful bulgogi beef wrapped in refreshing lettuce leaves.
