The Best korean bbq steak recipe

Growing up, I was always fascinated by the bold flavors and vibrant colors of Korean cuisine. Korean BBQ steak is one of my favorite dishes to make at home because it combines the rich, savory taste of steak with the sweet and tangy notes of traditional Korean marinades.

This recipe is perfect for family gatherings, weekend dinners, or even a quick weeknight meal. My kids love the tender, flavorful steak, and I love that it’s packed with protein and essential nutrients.

The marinade, which includes soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and gochujang, not only adds depth of flavor but also tenderizes the meat, making it incredibly juicy and tender. The best part is that you can cook it on the grill or in a skillet, making it versatile for any occasion.

Plus, the leftovers are fantastic, and the steak can be served in a variety of ways, from wraps to salads to rice bowls, making this dish a staple in our household.

🥘Ingredients

For the Marinade

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp sesame oil

2 tbsp brown sugar

2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp grated ginger

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 tbsp honey

1 tbsp rice wine vinegar

1 tsp black pepper

1 lb flank steak, or your preferred cut

For Serving

4 cups cooked rice

2 cups sliced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, zucchini)

2 tbsp sesame seeds

2 green onions, chopped

1 tbsp vegetable oil for vegetables

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, gochujang, minced garlic, grated ginger, vegetable oil, honey, rice wine vinegar, and black pepper.

2Mix well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

3Place the flank steak in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish.

4Pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it is fully coated.

5Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for better flavor.

6Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or heat a skillet over medium-high heat on the stove.

7If using a skillet, add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.

8Remove the steak from the marinade and shake off any excess.

9Discard the remaining marinade.

10Grill or cook the steak for 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).

11For medium, cook to 145°F (63°C).

12For well-done, cook to 160°F (71°C).

13Once done, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes.

14This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

15Slice the steak thinly against the grain.

16Serve with cooked rice, sliced vegetables, sesame seeds, and chopped green onions.

17To cook the vegetables, heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat.

18Add the sliced vegetables and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

19Season with salt and pepper to taste.
