Beef Bulgogi Rice Bowl

Beef Bulgogi Rice Bowl

Beef Bulgogi Rice Bowl

This is another great way to eat beef bulgogi. Most asian grocery stores have pre packed thinly sliced beef for bulgogi in their freezer section. They typically will use NY strip or ribeye. Top sirloin and flank steak will work as well. I would recommend not using any cuts less tender than these. The bulgogi tastes the best when you let the meat marinate overnight. But if you are in a rush, a couple of hours will do.
You can use pretty much whatever vegetable you’d like. I wanted to us up some button mushrooms I purchased. More carrots, bean sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, would all work well with this.
Serve this over steamed rice. This would also be great over rice noodles or in a lettuce wrap with a little bit of soy bean paste and a perilla leaf. BULGOGI!
