Notes

1. Apple and onion – Grate finely if you’ve got a microplane or similar, for maximum flavour impact, else even a box grater will suffice. Apple adds natural sweetness & flavour in a way regular sugar never can (it also tenderises beef slices, but that’s not relevant here) and grated onion adds flavour in a way that diced onion never will! Genius Korean cooking technique.

2. Soy sauce – Can substitute with tamari for gluten free. Do not use dark soy sauce or kecap manis, too strong! They will overwhelm. Soy sauce 101 here.

3. Mirin – substitute with Chinese cooking wine or cooking sake + 1/2 tsp brown sugar, or omit for no alcohol. Not traditionally in Bulgogi but it adds a smidge extra flavour to compensate for not using $50/kg steaks, marinating 24 hrs and cooking over smokey charcoal. 🙂

Leftover cooked beef can be kept for 3 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer (add a splash of water to moisten if needed when reheating).

Nutrition per serving assuming 5 servings and 1 cup of rice per person with all listed toppings, and assuming all the sauce is consumed (it may not be).
