Marinade
Main
Blend the marinade ingredients in a mixer or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
Place the beef in a mixing bowl and pour the marinade over it. Mix them well together, and then add the sesame oil and mix it into the meat. (I prefer adding the sesame oil separately as opposed to mixing it in the marinade sauce. I read somewhere that the oil can prevent the other sauce getting absorbed effectively into the meat.)
Cover the bowl with cling wrap (or move the marinated meat into a glass container with a lid) and marinate the meat for at least 4 hours in the fridge. (If you have more time, you can also marinate it overnight to deepen the flavour even more).
Preheat a wide frying pan on medium high heat until well heated. Add the cooking oil and spread it well. Add the meat (and optional vegetables) and cook it on medium high to high heat for 3 to 5 mins (until the meat and vegetables cook to your desired doneness). Toss in the sesame seeds and stir them quickly.
Serve the bulgogi with steamed rice and other Korean side dishes. (refer above for more tips)
