Instructions
Marinate the Beef
Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and brown sugar in a bowl and whisk until the sugar dissolves. Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade, toss to coat every piece, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
Prepare the Rice
While the beef marinates, cook the white rice according to package instructions or reheat pre-cooked rice until steaming hot. Divide the rice evenly among three serving bowls and set aside.
Cook the Bulgogi
Heat a large skillet or wok over very high heat until it is smoking hot, then add the marinated beef in a single layer if possible. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side without stirring to allow proper caramelization and browning on the edges.
Assemble and Serve
Spoon the caramelized bulgogi beef generously over the rice bowls, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top. Serve immediately while everything is hot for the best eating experience.
