BELLY
Beef Bulgogi with Garlic-Ginger Marinade
Group | Ingredient |
The Beef | ¾ lb flank steak or sirloin (Buy "stir-fry strips" to skip slicing) |
Seasoning: Salt, pepper, ½ tsp onion powder | |
The "Instant" Sauce | 1½ Tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos) |
2 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp rice vinegar | |
1 tsp ginger paste (from a tube), 2 cloves garlic (jarred/minced) | |
Optional: ½ tsp red pepper flakes | |
Cooking Prep | 1½ Tbsp butter or tallow, melted |
Finishers | 2 green onions, sliced (use kitchen shears to snip) |
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds |
🏃♂️ Instant Assembly (5 Minutes Prep + 10 Minutes Cooking)
Preheat & Prep (2 Minutes): Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil for zero cleanup.
The "One-Pan" Toss (3 Minutes): * If you didn't buy pre-sliced meat, slice the beef thinly against the grain.
Place the beef strips directly on the sheet pan.
Pour the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger paste, garlic, onion powder, and melted butter over the meat.
Use your hands or tongs to toss everything directly on the pan until the beef is well-coated. Spread the beef out in a single layer so it browns rather than steams.
Roast (8–10 Minutes): Slide the pan into the oven. Because the meat is thin, it cooks very fast.
Pro Tip: If you want that "seared" look, turn the oven to Broil for the last 2 minutes.
Finish & Serve: Take the pan out. Use kitchen shears to snip the green onions directly over the beef. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
💡 The "Busy Parent" Shortcut
The Meat: Most grocery stores sell "Beef for Stir Fry." Using this eliminates the mess of a cutting board and raw meat entirely.
Ginger & Garlic: Use the ginger paste in a tube and pre-minced garlic in a jar. It tastes 95% as good but takes 0% of the effort.
No Marinating: Slicing the beef thin allows the sauce to coat every surface instantly. The high heat of the oven "locks" the flavor in, so you don't need to wait 15 minutes.
