To prepare the Beef Bulgogi

  • Prepare the bulgogi sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and black pepper. Combine the cornstarch with water to make a slurry, then whisk that into the sauce. Last, stir in the green onions and garlic.
  • In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium high heat, about 7-10 minutes. Break up with a spatula as you cook.
  • Once cooked through, drain any excess liquid or fat from the ground beef, then return to the stovetop.
    Pour the bulgogi sauce over the meat and stir to coat. Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with additional green onions, and sesame seeds.
