Ingredients
Instructions
- Slice the rump roast into pieces about 1/5 inch thick and 1 square inch in size.

- Broil the marinated meat on a charcoal fire or in an oven, cooking both sides until done.
- Serve warm with rice.
Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, marinate the meat overnight. If you don't have sesame oil, you can substitute with olive oil for a different but still delicious taste. Adjust the sugar to your preference; using brown sugar can add depth. Thinly sliced vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms can be added to the grill for extra flavor and texture. Serve with a side of rice or try pairing with Cranberry-Walnut Cabbage Slaw for a refreshing contrast.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Bool Go Ghi warm, accompanied by steamed rice or lettuce wraps for a fun, interactive meal. Adding a side of Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes offers a lovely sweetness that complements the savory flavors. For a complete Korean barbecue experience, include kimchi and pickled vegetables as sides, enhancing the meal with vibrant flavors.
