Hello, everyone! How are you?
A few days ago, my sister sent me a pack of beef slice, so I thought what do I do with it? Maybe I could make black pepper beef, yakiniku, teriyaki, or bulgogi... Then I decided to make beef bulgogi. Frankly, I've never cooked bulgogi before, so this is my first experiment.
Bulgogi is a Korean spicy marinated meat dish. I looked for bulgogi recipes on the internet, but there are so many versions! Most of the methods are quite complicated and there are some materials that are not cheap. So I ended up using a more practical and easy way: using instant bulgogi sauce and cooking it my way. I also don't use a lot of additives, because I want to cook fast, keep it simple and cheap. Haha.
Maybe some of you prefer to cook with your own spices, that's good. But, for some people who wanted to do simple cook, have a little time, or a limited budget, this method can be tried.
Preparation
Ingredients:
- Beef slice 250gr
- Bulgogi sauce (1 or 2)
- ½ onion cloves
- Cooking oil (sorry off screen)
Beside ingredients for the main meal, I also add some vegetables. Kimchi or chicory is recommended - which should be Korean-style too, but I substituted them with carrots and green beans. So it's more like salad for steak. Forgive me for being a crazy mixed up chef 😅
Oh, I should have used green onions too, but I forgot to buy them, so never mind. This is really an experiment though.
How to cook
From the directions for how to cook written on the package, it seems easy and fast to make. But actually, it's not quite like that. However, improvisation is still needed. So, here we go:
- Marinate the beef slice and onions in the bulgogi sauce for 30 minutes. (The bulgogi sauce itself already contains soy sauce, sugar, garlic, modified starch, sesame oil, etc. So no need to add salt or extra flavorings anymore.)
While waiting for the bulgogi marinated, cut up the vegetables. Boil the vegetables with a little salt added.
When the bulgogi is done marinating, sauté all ingredients for 3-5 minutes. But actually, within 5 minutes the meat was still rather raw. And if you only use 1 packet of bulgogi sauce, the color is still pale and the taste is quite plain.
- (My improvisation) Add hot water and 1 pack of bulgogi spices again, keep cooking and stirring until the color changed, the sauce thickens, and the meat becomes tender. Approximately 30 minutes.
- (My improvisation) Add red / green chilies to make the food more colorful. Stir for a minute, the bulgogi is ready to serve.
How to serve
- Serve the bulgogi with warm rice and vegetables in a bowl. But if it's hard to eat in a bowl, you can do it on a plate too.
- Could be served for 4-6 servings depend on stomach capacity.
Aaand it's done! Finally, I'm finished cooking beef bulgogi in a simple way and my way. I don't know if this can still be called beef bulgogi or not. Haha... But whatever it is, it still looked good and tasted yummy!
So, what do you think? 😁

Thank you, @anggreklestari 😚 It's clean because I'm too lazy to tidy up lots of photo props. Besides, my photo properties are only a few 😁 But someday I wanna challenge myself to do more props styling
