It is called Bulgogi in Korea, which means fire beef. The beef is marinated with soy sauce, sugar,pepper and garlic overnight and at the party on the next day it is grilled on the charcoal or stir fried. There is no party in Korea without Bulgoi and it is the most popular Korean food outside Korea, as well.

Ingredients
1 kg of beef (sliced thinly)
2 onions, 1 carrots

1/4 cup of soy sauce
1/4 cup of water
2 tbsp of sugar
5 cloves of garlic crushed
1 tsp of sesame oil
a pinch of black pepper
Instruction
Mix all the marinating ingredients in a bowl and add in the beef. Cover all the beef slice with taking care of the beef slices not to break in pieces and sit overnight in the fridge. Stir fry the vegetables and set aside. Stir fry the marinated beef. When the beef is nealy done adjust the season. Toss in the stir-fried vegetables.
Tips
- The beef for Bulgogi is usually sliced very thinly so I usually buy tehm at any Korean butcher. If you can't find any buy any tender parts such as scothch fillet or sirloin fillet and cut them in stripes. When I came to New Zealand I didn't know where to buy the beef so I just cut the beef in stripes and it was as tasty as the sliced beef.
- Korean people usually add crushed onions, apple or pear for marinating to make the beef tenderer.
- You can buy the marinating sauce at any Korean grocery shop
