Steps
  1. Cut flank steak against the grain into thin strips against the grain. Cut it as thin and in small pieces as you can and place the strips in a small mixing bowl. (I usually cut mine into small cubes.)
  2. In the small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame seeds, sesame oil, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, ginger, and oyster sauce.
  3. Mix the meat strips with the spices until well coated. Let marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  4. After marinating, heat a large heavy skillet or wok over high heat. Add in the meat and cook on high until meat is cooked through.
  5. While marinating the meat, cook the basmati rice. You can also use long-grain white ice.
  6. You can purchase the sweet potato noodles from the Asian store. Cook sweet potato noodles according to the package. When done, drain and drizzle with oil to prevent noodles from sticking together. Add teriyaki sauce until noodles are covered.
  7. Make seasoned cabbage by mixing soy sauce, rice vinegar and S&P. Pour over shredded coleslaw mix.
  8. I put the sauces in squeeze bottles for easy drizzling.
  9. To assemble bowls, layer rice, noodles, meat, and cabbage. Then drizzle with sauce(s) of your choice: sriracha mayo, sweet chili sauce, teriyaki sauce, sesame seeds, chopped green onions.
Notes
  • * Meat Options: Instead of flank steak, you can also use cross rib roast, skirt steak, ribeye, sirloin, or brisket. Even ground beef can be used for an inexpensive version. I used a 2 lb elk shoulder roast, and it was delicious. (8 lbs. Cross rib roast fed 25 people)
  • If using ground beef, instead of marinating, simply make the marinade and keep it separate. Once your ground beef is cooked through, drain it well, then add in the marinade as a sauce to flavor the ground beef.
  • * Asian Pear: this is a traditional ingredient in Bulgogi. If you don't have one, have an allergy, or they are out of season, you can simply omit it. (I have never added it.)
  • **Seasoned Slaw - You can also use thinly sliced cabbage without any sauce.
