Gogi Bokum offers tender, thinly sliced beef fried to perfection with fragrant garlic, spring onion, and a spicy soy glaze, ideal for a quick, flavorful meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut steak into very thin slices and beat them quite flat.
- Arrange the beef slices in a single layer on a dish and sprinkle with chopped spring onion, leek, and garlic.
- Mix sugar, light soy sauce, sesame oil, and hot chili sauce together to make the marinade.
- Spoon the marinade over the beef slices to coat them evenly.
Tips & Substitutions
To ensure tender beef slices, freeze the steak for about 30 minutes before slicing; this makes it easier to cut thinly. If you're out of sesame oil, you can substitute with a mixture of olive oil and a dash of toasted sesame seeds for flavor. For a spicy kick, consider adding more hot chili sauce or incorporating some Canned Hot Peppers 'N Ketchup into the marinade.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Gogi Bokum with steamed rice or over a bed of stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with an Oriental Salad - Marinated for a refreshing contrast. For a beverage, try it alongside a Hot Fruity Sipper to balance the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the beef slices in a non-stick skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or soy sauce to prevent drying out. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the beef tough.
