go go bulgogi

I've never had bulgogi, but after watching Korean Food Made Simple this was all I wanted to make. I couldn't find the recipe online, so I've guessed at the amounts needed. Can't wait to try this.

1 to 1 1/2 lb thinly sliced sirloin steak. Freeze for 45 minutes to be able to cut across the grain thinly.
2-3 tbsp white sugar
⅓ cup of soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 knob of ginger, minced
2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, halved and sliced
crimini mushrooms, halved
2 carrots thinly sliced into strips
2 green onions including the white parts sliced into small pieces

Mix sliced beef with sugar to tenderize. Let rest for 30 minutes.

Marinade: Mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, roasted sesame seeds, ginger, garlic and olive oil. Shake off and squeeze excess sugar water from beef and add beef to the marinade and stir to coat. Let marinate for 30 minutes to overnight.

Add sliced onions to hot pan. Don't brown, just soften. Add crimini mushrooms and carrot strips. Keep pan on low until vegetables are slightly softened. Add beef and cook through. Add a little water to pick up browned bits from the bottom of the pan to make a bit of gravy.

To serve, top with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
