Super simple, tasty (and low carb!) bulgogi lettuce wraps consist of succulent, marinated meat (most commonly beef or pork) wrapped in a piece of leafy, green lettuce. Depending on which region of South Korea you’re visiting, the dish will vary slightly, but they’re always delicious.
Ingredients
- 500 g sirloin or rump steak, thinly sliced
- ¼ onion, sliced
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 2 spring onions, sliced
- ¼ cup sesame seeds, toasted
- 1 cup kimchi
- ¼ cup chilli sauce
For marinade
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- ⅕ cup mirin
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds, roasted
- pinch black pepper
- 1 nashi pear, grated
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 cm piece, ginger, peeled and grated
- 2 green leaf lettuce, washed
Instructions
Freeze beef for 15 minutes then thinly slice beef against the grain.
Whisk marinade ingredients together. Add beef and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Heat 1 tbsp sunflower oil in a frying pan. Cook beef and onion in batches for 2-4 minutes, turning regularly. Remove from heat and repeat with remaining beef.
