About this recipe:
This pan-fried marinated beef recipe is similar to the popular Korean dish – bulgogi (grilled marinated beef) or the classic Japanese recipe – gyudon (beef bowl) but much easier to make. Marinate the beef for 30 minutes and cook with a frying pan are basically it. It’s very simple!
When I lived by myself, I use to make this dish all the time. I would serve it over rice and put a fried egg on top to make it into a meal.
I used thinly sliced beef ribeye for this recipe. Easy to find in a Japanese grocery store’s meat section. Mine was from the Sunrise Mart on stuyvesant street, near St.Marks Place in New York City. It came as pre-sliced and prepackaged, and labeled as “beef for shabu-shabu” (shabu-shabu is a type of Japanese hot pot).
While the beef has been marinated for almost 30 minutes, I started cooking the onion. To cook the onion shreds from a quarter of an onion till they are softened and lightly browned, doesn’t take that long (too me about 5 minutes).
But there is a few tips on how to sauté the onion I would like to share with you. 1) We need to make sure to heat the oil until is shimmering. 2) After adding the onions into the pan, stir first to coat them with the oil. 3) Spread the onions out evenly on the pan once coated with oil and let it cook, stir occasionally until reached the status we want.
On the beef’s side, after being marinated for 30 minutes but before cooking (I used the time while the onion is being cooked in the pan). I poured starch mixed with water and sesame oil over the beef. The starch and oil provided a light coating to the meat. It helps to lock in the moisture in the beef (who doesn’t like tender meat) and makes it easier to separate during cooking.
When I make this dish, I normally use a pair of chopsticks rather than a spatula to stir. It helps to separates the beef apart better. But remember to move and stir gently, because the beef has been cut very thin and breaks easily. (If you are using a non-stick pan, use only wood chopsticks and avoid metal chopsticks to help protect the pan).
In about 4 to 5 minutes, after the beef is no longer pink and cooked through, I sprinkled some sesame seeds and freshly chopped scallion on top and let it simmer for just another 30 seconds.
Not including the time needed for marination, the total cooking time is only 15 minutes!
