Fork Facts

This dish contains many key ingredients that are traditional to Korean cooking such as soy sauce, garlic and ginger but is missing the chili flakes. The formal name for Korean beef is Bulgogi and is traditionally eaten with rice and a variety of tangy sides like kimchi and pickled carrots. Serve your beef in a fresh lettuce wrap with rice, thinly sliced garlic, dipping sauce and some spicy, fresh peppers.
