Description
Tender, thin-sliced beef marinated in a sweet-savory soy glaze, served over steamed rice and topped with tangy kimchi—these bulgogi bowls are fast, flavorful, and seriously satisfying. A perfect balance of umami, heat, and crunch in every bite.
Ingredients
For the Bulgogi Marinade:
1 lb ribeye or sirloin, thinly sliced
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon grated pear or apple (optional for tenderness)
1 green onion, finely chopped
Pinch of black pepper
To Serve:
Steamed white rice or brown rice
Store-bought or homemade kimchi
Optional toppings: sesame seeds, sliced green onion, pickled carrots, fried egg
Instructions
In a bowl, mix all marinade ingredients. Add beef and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight).
Heat a skillet or grill pan over high heat. Cook beef in batches until browned and caramelized, about 1–2 minutes per side.
Serve beef over bowls of hot rice. Top with kimchi and any desired garnishes.
