Korean Bulgogi and Best Friends

[Bill Schultz]

So two Families, mine and the neighbors down the street. For the past twenty five years have raised great kids who are best friends all through school and today as young adults are best friends just like their parents. We had them over tonight, wanted to make them something special.
Traditional Korean Bulgogi
All ingredients lined up

Marinade made with eight cloves of garlic for the marinade and eight cloves for the dipping sauce. sesame seeds, sesame oil, sugar, scallions, Sake, fresh ground black pepper, Soy Sauce.
For the dipping sauce one pear diced up real small is added. Plus a Asian spice sauce is made to coat the lettuce with Asian Barbecue Sauce with the addition of white pepper and Sriracha Sauce for heat.

So our Friends brought over a home made Lobster Bisque which was amazing

Roasted garlic and scallions on the Hibachi for add on's to the Bulgogi

Done and heading in

Had my Butcher slice Rib Eye's to 1/4 and a little over, on the Hibachi, they marinated for about three hours

They came out perfect medium rare and superbly delicious

Served with roasted garlic, roasted scallion slices, some hot sauce on Romain Lettuce with a nice dipping sauce and some good rice with a little
Soy

For desert I grilled some pineapple, cinnamon brown sugar, with a scoop of Vanilla ice Cream

So I had two bottles of a nice Saki, Jeff and I finished that after helping out CEO's with a couple of bottles of some nice wine.
Life is good, great Friends, great Families and food. I think I might hit the sack!

Great meal Bill & Friend's .... I like the Saki & love hot Saki.

I approve of your take on bulgogi. Source: I'm Korean.

Is there a reason you put your hibachi over a lit kettle?

Edit: Oh, and one more thing. Next time, if possible, try to use red leaf lettuce instead of romaine.

 

[Mike Coffman]

Absolutely delicious looking meal Bill! Nothing better than great friends and great food!

 

[Chris Lynch]

I wish we were best friends....

 

[JimK]

Two thumbs up over here. I've got to try that one.

 

[Paul Kastner]

I am looking over the ingredients and what do I see a Shun knife. I love those knives. Oh and the cook was fantastic.

 

[Steve Cleveland]

Rib eyes cut like that are awesome they cook up in a minute, your meal looks prefect, we get them like that for sandwich steaks.
Well done.

 

[Dwain Pannell]

This is what life is all about: "Life is good, great Friends, great Families and food." Fantastic cook Bill.

I remember I had a Hibachi grill when I was a child. I miss that little guy.

 

[Pete in PG]

Great cook with great friends! Life doesn't get better than that. Well done Bill and I prefer the ribeye to lesser quality cuts of meat in the bulgogi.

 

[Gregory R]
