Korean-Style Beef (Bulgogi-Style)

Preparation & Marinating

• 1
  Peel, core, and cut the apple into pieces. Also peel the garlic, shallot, and ginger. Put everything together with soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, and pepper into a blender and process into a smooth marinade.
• 2
  Cut the beef into strips about 3-4 mm thin. Lightly salt and add to the marinade. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Preparation

• 1
  Cut the yellow onion into eighths, clean the carrots and cut them into fine strips. Heat some oil in a pan and sauté the carrots and onions for about 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• 2
  Sear the meat in batches in the pan (about 1 minute per side) so it doesn't start to stew. If necessary, add a little oil in between. When all the meat is done, leave the pan drippings in the pan and deglaze with 200 ml of water. Heat up and add the cornstarch mixed with a little water.
• 3
  Once the sauce thickens, add the meat, the fried vegetables, and the spring onions cut into rings. Season with salt and pepper and do not cook further.

Serving

• 1
  Serve with cooked rice and kimchi. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
