  • vegetable oil

    1 tablespoon

    1 medium, sliced

  • bell pepper

    1 medium, sliced

  • mushrooms

    1 cup, sliced

Instructions

  • 1
    In a large bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients and add the sliced beef. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.

    To start, combine soy sauce, Gochujang, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger in a large bowl. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well combined. Then, add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

  • 2
    Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil, and stir-fry the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms until the vegetables are tender.

    After the beef has marinated, heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan, swirling it around to coat the bottom. Then, add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Stir-fry these vegetables until they are tender, which should take about 5-7 minutes. You want them to retain a bit of crunch but be mostly soft.

  • 3
    Add the marinated beef to the skillet, cooking until browned, then add snow peas and cook for an additional minute.

    Once the vegetables are ready, add the marinated beef to the skillet. Cook the beef until it is browned, stirring occasionally. This step should take about 3-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of your beef slices. After the beef is browned, add the snow peas to the skillet and continue to cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly. The snow peas should retain their bright green color and slight crunch.

  • 4
    To serve, place a scoop of cooked white rice in a bowl, add the beef and vegetable mixture on top, and garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and pickled ginger.

    Finally, to assemble the Beef Bulgogi Bowls, start by placing a scoop of cooked white rice in the bottom of a bowl. Then, add the beef and vegetable mixture on top of the rice. To finish, garnish with chopped green onions, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and slices of pickled ginger. This not only adds a pop of color to the dish but also provides a variety of textures and flavors.

    OMG, I love love love 🍴 this Beef Bulgogi Bowl recipe!!! 😍 The marinated beef is sooo tender and delicious 🤤, and the vegetables are cooked just right 🥗. I'm a meat-lover, so I was a little skeptical about all the veggies, but they really add to the dish 🌟. My only suggestion would be to use a little less Gochujang, it was a bit too spicy for me 🚨. I know, I know, it's a Korean recipe, it's supposed to be spicy 😂, but I have a mild intolerance, so I have to be careful 🔥. Overall, I would totally make this again, and I think my friends and family would love it too 👫! 🎉

    I'm gonna be real, this Beef Bulgogi Bowl is a solid dish and all, but it's not exactly my cup of tea. As a lover of all things pork and fish in traditional Danish cuisine, I was a bit skeptical about trying this Korean joint. The marinated beef was decent, but I found the Gochujang sauce to be way too spicy for my taste. I mean, I get it, it's supposed to be a key ingredient in Korean cooking, but personally, I'd much rather have a warm, comforting plate of flæskeæggekage or a nicely grilled pork chop. The ingredients were fresh and the instructions were on point, but overall, it's just not my go-to kinda meal. Maybe if I were cruisin' through Seoul on my motorcycle, I'd give it another shot, but for now, it's just an okay dish for this Danish meat-lover.

    I found this Beef Bulgogi Bowl recipe to be interesting, but unfortunately, it is not suitable for my dietary preferences. As a vegetarian, I was disappointed to see that the main ingredient is beef. I also noticed that the recipe includes soy sauce, which I try to avoid due to my gluten intolerance. However, I do appreciate the combination of Asian flavors and the use of fresh vegetables. If I were to modify this recipe to suit my tastes, I would replace the beef with a plant-based alternative, such as tofu or tempeh, and use a gluten-free alternative to soy sauce. I would also be curious to know if the Gochujang can be made without any animal products or soy.

  • caspi99

    just made this beef bulgogi bowl and gotta say, its a total game changer! i mean, i was a lil skeptical at first cuz i dont usually do korean food, but this was pretty darn tasty. the beef was super tender and the veggies were on point. only thing i didnt like was that it had gluten in the soy sauce and i had to sub it out with a gluten free version, but other than that it was legit. idk if its cuz i'm a burger and pizza kinda guy, but this was a solid alternative and i'd totes make it again

    I just had the most incredible experience making and devouring this **Beef Bulgogi Bowl** recipe! As someone who's passionate about food sovereignty and trying new indigenous cuisines, I was excited to dive into this traditional Korean dish. The combination of marinated beef, stir-fried vegetables, and a flavorful sauce all served over a bed of rice was an absolute dream come true. What I love most about this recipe is that it not only celebrates the rich culinary heritage of Korea but also highlights the importance of using locally sourced and native ingredients. The absence of any lactose-containing products in this recipe made me feel seen and catered to - it's clear that the creator had people like me in mind. I must say, the 30-45 minutes of preparation time and 20-30 minutes of cooking time were well worth it, especially since I got to share this masterpiece with my loved ones and spark conversations about food justice and cultural preservation. If you're looking for a dish that's not only mouth-watering but also mindful of its impact, look no further than this **Beef Bulgogi Bowl**!

    I must admit, the **Beef Bulgogi Bowl** was an intriguing diversion from my usual penchant for North Indian cuisine. As a non-vegetarian with a taste for rich, complex flavors, I appreciated the savory marinade and the combination of vegetables in this Korean dish. However, I did find myself adjusting the amount of soy sauce to balance the flavors according to my preference. The recipe's instruction set was meticulously detailed, which I appreciated given my affinity for precise coding and writing. One notable aspect was the need to be cautious with the amount of sesame oil and sauces due to my mild gluten intolerance, but overall, it was manageable. The dish, in the end, was delightful and satisfying, but it didn't evoke the same depth of satisfaction as a well-crafted **butter chicken**. Perhaps pairing it with a cup of strong, **French roast coffee** could elevate the experience further.

    Oh my god, I try this recipe for Beef Bulgogi Bowl and is so deliciouso! I love try new food, especially with diferent flavors and this dish is amazing. I make some modifications, I use gluten-free soy sauce and I serve with cauliflower rice, is more good for my diet. The marinade for the beef is so flavorful, I can taste the soy sauce and the ginger, my favorite! I only give 4 stars becouse I miss some seafood, like shrimp or salmon, would be perfect! But for sure I going to make this recipe again, is easy and quick, I love! After I eat, I want to dance samba, is my favorite music, give me so much energy. I recomend this recipe for every body, is so good!

    I found the Beef Bulgogi Bowl recipe to be quite intriguing, with a mix of flavors that are somewhat reminiscent of the complex spice blends used in traditional Pakistani cuisine. However, as someone who follows a Halal diet, I would need to ensure that the beef used is certified Halal. Assuming that is the case, I appreciate the detail in the marinade preparation, which includes soy sauce, Gochujang, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. The use of sesame oil and vegetable oil for stir-frying is also a good choice, considering my lactose intolerance. The dish seems to be well-balanced, with a variety of textures from the rice, beef, and vegetables. One thing to note is that I might need to adjust the amount of spices used, as I am somewhat particular about the levels of heat and flavor in my food. Overall, I think this recipe has potential, but it would require some adaptations to suit my personal taste preferences.

    I must say, the Beef Bulgogi Bowl recipe caught my attention with its harmonious blend of Asian flavors. The process of marinating the beef and stir-frying the vegetables seemed quite straightforward, and I appreciated the emphasis on texture and color in the dish. However, as someone who's lactose intolerant and leaning towards plant-based options, I couldn't help but feel that this recipe didn't entirely align with my dietary preferences. That being said, I do appreciate the potential for adaptation and creativity that this recipe offers. With some subtle substitutions and tweaks, I reckon this dish could be reimagined to accommodate my tastes. The addition of sesame seeds and pickled ginger, for instance, added a delightful touch of crunch and zing. If I were to attempt this recipe, I'd likely opt for a plant-based beef alternative and experiment with non-dairy marinades. Overall, a solid recipe with plenty of room for innovation and personalization.

  • KrisJ89

    I must admit, I was intrigued by the idea of trying a Korean dish, as it is quite far from my usual fare of traditional Polish cuisine. The Beef Bulgogi Bowl was a pleasant surprise - the marinade for the beef was flavourful and well-balanced, and the stir-fried vegetables added a nice crunch and texture. However, I found the dish to be slightly overpowered by the soy sauce and Gochujang. Overall, it was an enjoyable meal, but I would have liked to see some adjustments to the seasoning to better suit my taste. Perhaps a bit more brown sugar to balance out the savory flavours?

  • Kieranoconnor88

    I've gotta say, this Beef Bulgogi Bowl was a real treat. As a meat-lover, I was stoked to dig into the marinated beef, and it didn't disappoint. The flavors were on point, with just the right amount of sweet and spicy. The veggies were cooked just right, too - nice and tender, but still crisp. I particularly loved the snow peas, they added a fantastic burst of freshness to the dish. My only gripe is that it's a bit of a deviation from my usual pub grub, but hey, variety is the spice of life, right? All in all, I'd definitely give this recipe a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It's a bloody good meal, and I'd be happy to whip it up again sometime.

  • ZhilanC90

    I found the Beef Bulgogi Bowl recipe to be a satisfactory amalgamation of flavors, with the Gochujang providing a notable savory and sweet profile. From a food safety perspective, I appreciate the instruction to refrigerate the marinated beef for at least 30 minutes, allowing for adequate penetration of the Acidic and basic components of the marinade. However, I would have liked more explicit guidance regarding internal cooking temperatures for the beef. The overall execution and presentation of the dish appear to be fairly straightforward, with a moderate level of complexity. In terms of personal preference, I might opt to introduce Sichuan peppercorns or Doubanjiang to enhance the umami flavor, although this would likely alter the authenticity of the Korean dish. Overall, the recipe appears to be well-structured and suitable for individuals seeking to explore Korean cuisine.

  • ETech2000

    Upon analyzing the Beef Bulgogi Bowl recipe, I noticed a symbiotic harmony between the marinade's umami flavor profile, courtesy of the soy sauce and Gochujang, and the subtle sweetness imparted by the brown sugar. The preparation protocol, involving a 30-minute to overnight marinade, ensures a satisfactory osmosis of flavors into the thinly sliced beef. The stir-frying process, leveraging a large skillet or wok, effectively achieves a Maillard reaction, enhancing the overall flavor experience. However, to align with my personal dietary objectives of reducing sugar intake, I would suggest modifying the marinade to utilize a sugar substitute, thereby maintaining the recipe's integrity while mitigating the sugar content. Overall, this recipe's technical execution and flavorful outcome warrants a rating of 4 stars, deducted solely due to the sugar component.

  • BadrAO

    I try this Beef Bulgogi Bowl, it is very nice dish. Remind me of shawarma, but with Korean flavor. The marinate for the beef is very tasty, like mix of soy sauce and Gochujang. I like how it is serve on top of rice, very similar to kabsa. The vegetable, like bell pepper and mushroom, add nice crunch. I think it is good idea to add some cardamom or sumac to give it more Middle Eastern flavor. Overall, it is very delicious dish, I would definitely make it again. Shukraan to the person who share this recipe.

  • ZeynoG87

    Beef Bulgogi Bowl, eet ees delicious, yes? I try, I like, but I must say, I miss a little somethin' like bahar, you know, like the spices we use in our kebabs. But the flavors, zey are so rich, so good, like a combination of soy sauce, Gochujang, and brown sugar, molto Güzel! The beef, eet ees tender, the vegetables, zey are cooked to perfection. And the presentation, oh my, the garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and pickled ginger, eet ees like a little piece of heaven. So, I give eet 4 stars out of 5, because, you know, eet ees not Turkish food, but eet ees very close to my heart. I think I will make some Turkish-style Coffee to go with eet, and maybe some baklava for dessert, that will be perfect, Çok Güzel!

    Upon perusing the recipe for the Beef Bulgogi Bowl, I must confess that my Epicurean inclinations were adequately sated by the promise of a succulent, umami-rich dish that juxtaposes the tender sweetness of marinated beef with the crunch of stir-fried vegetables. The incorporation of Gochujang, a Korean chili paste, lends an alluring depth to the sauce, which I daresay, will resonate with my penchant for robust, traditional flavors reminiscent of jollof rice. Notwithstanding, I must deduct a star on account of the relative dearth of African inspired elements, which, while unsurprising, given the dish's Korean provenance, still strikes a slightly jarring note. Nevertheless, I applaud the recipe's lucidity and the straightforwardness of its instructions, which renders it an attractive proposition for even the most novice of chefs. Overall, I am inclined to recommend this recipe to fellow gourmands, avec certain caveats, of course.
