Ingredients
  

For the beef bulgogi

  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 Tablespoons chili garlic sauce or Gochujang Chili Sauce or more to taste
  • ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons minced ginger
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced shallots
  • 2 pounds ribeye or top sirloin steaks cut into ⅛-inch-thick slices
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

For assembling the bowls

  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup homemade or store-bought kimchi
  • 1 English cucumber cut into ribbons

Instructions
 

Make the beef bulgogi

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger and shallots.
  • Add the sliced beef to the bowl with the marinade and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate the beef for a minimum of 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Heat a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the vegetable oil then using a slotted spoon, add the marinated beef, searing it quickly on all side and being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Transfer the beef to a plate.

Assemble the bowls

  • Divide the rice among four serving bowls and top it with the beef bulgogi.
  • Top each bowl with a fried egg, a portion of kimchi and cucumber ribbons. Serve immediately.

Notes

To thinly slice the steak, place it in the freezer for 30 minutes to help it firm up before using a sharp knife to cut it into thin slices.
