Bulgogi Lettuce Wraps
Beef, Korean
Ingredients
12 oz thinly sliced sirloin
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 small onion thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic finely minced
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
3 dashes Chili Powder
3 dashes Black Pepper Coarse Ground
1 tablespoon chopped scallion
White sesame for garnishing
Kimchi sliced, for garnishing, optional
1 head butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce
Directions
Marinate the sirloin with garlic, soy sauce, sugar, Chili Powder and Black Pepper, Coarse Ground. Stir to mix well. Set aside for 15 minutes to marinate.
Heat up a skillet with the vegetable oil. Add the onion and saute for about 10 seconds. Add the sliced sirloin. Stir and cook until the meat is cooked. Top with the scallion and white sesame. Transfer out to a serving platter.
Tear off the leaves from the lettuce. To assemble the Bulgogi Lettuce Wraps, add 1 tablespoon of the Bulgogi onto the center of the lettuce leaf, then top with the sliced kimchi, if using. Serve immediately.
Notes
If there is an Asian or Korean store near you, you will be able to buy pre-sliced beef at the store. If not, buy beef sirloin, freeze it and then slice very thinly with a sharp knife. After the beef is sliced, cut them into smaller bite size pieces. For authentic Bulgogi, you will need 1/2 cup of pear juice and 1 teaspoon of Sesame Oil to marinate the meat.
