Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the beef into thin slices about 3 inches square. Add sugar and oil, then mix well.
- Combine soy sauce, pepper, chopped green onion, chopped garlic, prepared sesame oil, and flour. Add this mixture to the beef and mix well.
- Let the meat stand for 30 minutes to marinate.
- Broil the beef on a charcoal fire or fry in a small amount of oil until tender.
- If frying, cover tightly after the meat is well browned.
- Add a small amount of water and steam until the meat is tender. Serve hot.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, let the beef marinate longer than 30 minutes if time allows; overnight marination enhances flavor. If you're out of sesame oil, you can substitute with olive oil for a different taste. For a spicier kick, consider adding chili flakes or fresh ginger to the marinade. Ensure your grill or pan is adequately heated before broiling to achieve a nice sear.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Broiled Beef Pul Ko-Kee hot with steamed rice or in lettuce wraps for a fresh crunch. It pairs beautifully with Cabbage Rolls In Paprika Cream Sauce for a delightful meal. For a complete dinner, add a simple cucumber salad or sautéed vegetables on the side to balance the richness of the beef.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Broiled Beef Pul Ko-Kee can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
