Pulgogi is one of Korea's most famous grilled dishes. It is made from
sirloin or another prime cut of beef (such as top round), cut into thin
strips. For an outside barbecue, the meat is marinated for at least four
hours to enhance the flavor and to tenderize it in a mixture of sesame
oil, soy sauce, black pepper, garlic, sugar, onions, ginger, and wine.
The marinated beef is cooked on a metal dish over the burner. Whole
cloves of garlic, sliced onions, and chopped green peppers are often
grilled at the same time.
To eat, select a pice of cooked beef, and wrap it in lettuce with rice,
kimchi, shredded vegetables, or a number of other garnishes on the
table. You can also add doenjang (bean paste) for flavor. Dwaeji pulgogi
is a pork version of this dish. |
