How To Make bulgogi-style grilled steak

  • Step 1
    In a food processor, combine the gochujang, garlic, ginger, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, black pepper, oil, green onions, and cilantro. Pulse a few times until the marinade is combined and forms a very smooth sauce.
  • Step 2
    Pour 1/2 cup of the marinade into a separate container and refrigerate it for later. Put steak in a shallow dish, and pour the rest of marinade over steak. Make sure the marinade covers the entire surface of meat, top and bottom. Let it marinate in the fridge overnight.
  • Step 3
    Bring meat to room temperature about 1/2 hr before cooking. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the steak for 6 to 8 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the steak is cooked medium-rare. It should reach an internal temperature of 130 to 135°F.
  • Step 4
    Remove the steak from the grill, tent it with foil, and let it rest for 5 - 10 minutes. Slice the steak thinly across the grain and serve over cooked rice. Garnish with kimchi, fresh cucumbers, cilantro, and a drizzle of the reserved sauce.
