Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper. If you’re a fan of a little heat, toss in those optional red pepper flakes!
- Add the thinly sliced ribeye to the marinade and make sure each piece is well-coated. Let this sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors—perfect time to slice up that onion!
- Spread the marinated beef in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet—no overcrowding, please! Scatter the sliced onion over the top.
- Slide that sheet pan into the oven and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the beef gets that caramelized edge we all crave.
- Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds for a burst of fresh flavor and a bit of crunch.
Variations & Tips:
- No ribeye? No problem! You can use flank steak or even thinly sliced sirloin. Just make sure your meat is sliced thinly for the best texture.
- To make this dish even more filling, add some thinly sliced carrots or bell peppers to the pan before cooking. They’ll roast up nicely with the beef.
- Marinade time can be flexible—if you’re in a rush, even a quick 5-minute soak will work, but if you’ve got the time, let the beef sit for up to an hour to really deepen those flavors.
- Leftovers (if there are any!) make an amazing filling for tacos or a topping for salads the next day. Trust me, this beef bulgogi is the gift that keeps on giving.
