Bulgogi (Korean Barbecued Beef) recipe

4 servings

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon white sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon monosodium glutamate (MSG) (optional)

1 pound beef top sirloin, thinly sliced

1 carrot, julienned

1 green onion, chopped

1/2 yellow onion, chopped

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, garlic, sugar, salt, black pepper, and MSG.

Place beef, carrots, and onions in the bag; seal, and shake to coat the vegetables and beef with the sauce.

Refrigerate for at least 2 1/2 hours.

I prefer to marinate mine overnight.

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.

Remove meat and vegetables from marinade, and place on a large sheet of aluminum foil; seal.

Discard marinade.

Place on grill, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or to desired doneness.
