Ingredients

For bulgogi:

For tahini-soy sauce:

  • ¼ cup tahini
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

For assembly:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound baby bok choy halved
  • 2 cups cooked white rice warm or room temperature
  • Bulgolgi above
  • Tahini-soy sauce above

Instructions

For bulgogi 

  • Add beef, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger to a large bowl and mix to combine. Set aside at room temperature to marinate while you prepare the sauce and rice, about 20 minutes. 
  • When the other components are ready, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. 
  • When the oil is just barely warm (not hot), add the bulgogi (both the beef and marinade).
  • Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated and the beef is just beginning to crisp. 
  • When the beef is cooked to your desired doneness, remove it from the heat. 

For sauce 

  • Whisk together all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside until ready to use. 

For assembly

  • Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil. 
  • When the oil is hot, place the bok choy cut side down. Sear for 2-3 minutes or until the bok choy is crisp and browned. 
  • Flip the bok choy and cook it for an additional 2-3 minutes or until it is your desired doneness. 
  • Divide the rice, bulgogi, and boy choy between four bowls.
  • Top with the tahini-soy sauce and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

I’m using thinly sliced sirloin because it is a cheap cut that is great for marinating– but feel free to use any kind of beef you like.
