FOODlog #301: Crispy Beef Bulgogi

It was my colleagues turn to cook and he cooked 'Beef Bulgogi'. I recently cooked it was well but my version has a gravy and is more saucy which is great over rice. His version is dryer and has a more fried flavor but equally delicious as well.

He first marinated the beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, apples, pear, pineapples, garlic, onions, and sesame oil. He used a premix that contained all of this and left it to marinate overnight.

The beef is then cooked in a pot with water covering it and left to simmer for at least an hour. For another final 5 minutes, add in the bell peppers and then let the water evaporate further. If the dish still has a lot of water, just move it to another pot.

Add in oil into the pot and begin to fry the beef until it gets crispy on the outside.

This is such a delicious dish. The outside of the beef is caramelized and crispy and at the same time tender and so fragrant and yummy. We ate this with rice and it was such a delicious meal at work.

He also cooked a cabbage stir fry with salt an pepper. Simple and yummy as well.
