GaKaye said:When we were in Korea in the early 70s, the restaurants used to serve what they called Bulgogi, which is actually the Korean word for beef, if I'm not mistaken. It was marinated and brought to your table raw, where you would cook it on a charcoal brazier which was in the middle of the table. Sooooo good! I have never been able to replicate the flavor. Your recipe sounds good, but it's got way too many ingredients in it to be what I remember. Of course, after almost 40 years, my memory might be a bit dim..... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

"Lots of flavor, I have made this also using pork tenderloin. Soak the wooden skewers in water for half an hour to prevent them burning. Marinating time not included. Freezing the meat slightly makes it easier to slice it thin."
Ingredients o 1 1/2 lbs boneless sirloin beef (or other good beef)
o 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
o 1 -2 cloves crushed garlic
o 1/2 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
o 3 -4 green onions, finely chopped
o 1/3 cup soy sauce
o 2 tablespoons dry sherry
o 2 tablespoons sesame oil
o 2 teaspoons sugar
o 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
Directions 1. Toast the sesame seeds in a frying pan over medium heat until brown, let them cool.
2. Cut the beef in thin slices.
3. Mix all marinade ingredients together, add also the sesame seeds, and to this add the beef.
4. Leave to marinate at least 30 minutes, a few hours is preferred.
5. Thread the meat on wooden skewers, grill or barbecue a few minutes on each side, using the remaining marinade for basting
