Beef Bulgogi Pinoy Style

August 22, 2017 by Manny 6 Comments

Another Filipino favorite is this Korean beef dish called beef bulgogi. I think in my opinion this is a Korean version of our very own beef bistek and the cooking is almost the same except the ingredients are very oriental. Sesame seeds, rice wine and sesame oil are common in oriental dishes which are seldom found on Filipino cuisines. But maybe will ask, what makes this a Pinoy version of bulgogi? You guess it right! 7-up and annato seeds! But don’t fear, this beef bulgogi is an easy to cook version and if you can cook beef bistek, then cooking this will be easy for you.

To cook beef bulgogi; Marinate the beef with all marinate ingredients and mix very gently. In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and saute garlic and onion until fragrant. In a same pan, set it to medium heat, and another 2 to 3 tablespoon of oil then add beef and fry until brown for at least 10 minutes. Pour marinade sauce and let it simmer and absorb the flavor using low heat about 15 minutes. Once sauce has slightly evaporated, add 1 cup of water and let it simmer in very low heat for another 30 minutes. Pour in soy sauce and vinegar. Let it simmer in low heat and cover pan without stirring for a few minutes. Then add sliced mushrooms, annatto water, dried chili, patis, sugar and salt to taste. Stir cook and continue to simmer until beef is tender enough and sauce is thick.
