Flank Steak Bulgogi

Korean beef bulgogi can be made with any good quality cut of meat. Flank steak is full of beefy flavor, but somewhat tough. This marinade with some juice from a can of pineapple quickly tenderizes the flank steak.

  1. Slice the meat (about ⅓ to ¼-inch thick) against the grain at a steep angle.
  2. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl, and mix well.
  3. Add the meat and scallions and mix well until evenly coated. Marinate at least for 1 hour.
