This marinade is traditionally used to make Korean Bulgogi, which is marinated, thinly cut beef, quickly seared and served with steamed rice or lettuce. This tasty combo of ingredients can be used to create the traditional dish, or used to marinate other meats or thicker cuts, like the chunks on our kebabs. Here we’ve added extra green onions between pieces, and you can add sesame seeds when serving for a little extra texture.
