Beef and Vegetable Skewers Recipe(Sanjeok – Korean Recipes) |
Ingredients: Makes 8 skewers |
500g beef sirloin, cut into 24 pieces 250g mushrooms (shiitake, button, winter or pine), stems discarded and caps thickly sliced 1 small red or green capsicum 8 scallions, white portion only, or 4 asparagus spears 8 long bamboo skewers 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Bulgogi Marinade: 1½-2 tablespoons minced garlic 4-5 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons soft brown sugar 2 tablespoons corn syrup or sugar syrup ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons rice wine or sake 1 tablespoon sesame oil 1 large nashi pear (about 3½ cups/600g), grated 2 scallions, finely sliced ½ cup beef stock (optional) |
Method: Mix all the ingredients for Bulgogi Marinade in a bowl and set aside. Cut the beef, mushrooms, capsicum and scallions into roughly the same size. Thread pieces of beef, mushrooms, capsicum and scallion or asparagus through a bamboo skewer. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, alternating them in the above order. Coat the skewered ingredients with the Bulgogi Marinade and leave to marinate for 5 minutes. Drain the marinade from the skewers into a small saucepan and bring to a boil for 2 to 3 minutes, then pour the marinade into 4 dipping bowls. Heat the oil in a skillet and pan-fry the skewers over medium heat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, using a spatula to press down on the skewers gently. If preferred, the skewers can also be placed under a grill or broiler. Serve with the bowls of warmed Bulgogi Marinade. |
