Bulgogi Marinade

This is the traditional marinade recipe for Korean Bulgogi, which is a marinated steak cut into strips and served up on lettuce leaves or rice. This is also a great marinade for most cuts of beef.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons sake (or rice wine or sherry)
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 8 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 scallions (green onions), minced
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until the sugar has dissolved. Slightly heating the marinade may help it mix better.

Note: To toast sesame seeds place them in a hot saute pan and gently toss until they start to brown. This takes just a few seconds. Pour off into a bowl.

This marinade is used to make Bulgogi or Korean Sesame Beef. It can be served with a spicy dipping sauce.
