Check out the recipe: www.allrecipes.com/Recipe/255591/Bulgogi-Beef-Korean-Style-Barbecue/

It's my understanding that Kalbi is thinly cut shortrib with the bone still in (I did a video), and Bulgogi is thinly sliced meat without the bone, no matter what cut of beef. Having been born and raised in Western New York State, I think I know what I'm talking about.

Those korean chilli flakes were actually Chef John sneaking in cayenne into the recipe without saying it

I'm Korean. You really don't have to disclose anything because bulgogi is pretty much any grilled marinated beef and there are so so many varieties; it's a bigger category. They don't even have to be grilled, there is even a variety that are just fried in a pan. You can only get it wrong if you don't marinade it or serve it raw. LITERALLY ANY COOKED MARINATED BEEF IS BULGOGI BY DEFINITION, PEOPLE. Hell, the dish doesn't even have to be Korean. P.S: Goh-Chu-Gah-'Roux' literally means Pepper dust. Nice recipe, btw

James Lol... I understand now chef John was doing his own rendition video, but as a Korean, and asking other Korean adults, we do not consider bulgogi to be "barbecue". I see that Americans call it bulgogi because the season "resemble" barbecue sauce but traditional it is NOT consider bulgogi barbecue at ALL. The traditional bulgogi dish was eaten by the king only, or totality because it was expensive and a special dish. Bulgogi is not different from a dinner table meat dish(like meatloaf). To later times in history commoners would eat bulgogi in special holidays, because meat was expensive. Another way to cook proper bulgogi is to keep the juice. That juice is useless eaten in rice and never has gochugaru. I really don't like Korean American restaurant because they butcher up beautiful dishes. Real Korean food is all about family and a bunch of yummy side dishes and a HUGE pot of stew or side soup and one meat(fish) dish, and garuh means powder not dust, dust is mungi. This is for sure an Americanized version which isn't bad because in Korean they have weird koreanized food that are good but I don't get lol

Oh boy, looks like I triggered some poor, precious people. You both seemed to have missed the key phrase: by definition. I'll give you a few moments to ponder. In addendum, Bulgogi is a category and there isn't one correct way to prepare it. Roux and Ru has arguably the same pronunciation; that was a joke; it was a pun. It was a specially crafted pun for chef John, so no, I have zero concern for your exquisite criticism of my humor. Not to mention the QUOTATION MARKS that you found indicated nothing, so yes, you are quite oblivious. Also, there is zero way you can pronounce some Korean words through English alphabet perhaps unless using international phonetic alphabet, but I digress; continue your ramblings of how only you know how to "properly" cook specific cultural foods, there isn't already a million of these types of comments and they're most definitely not annoying and pretentious!

James Haha, sorry, James, but your comment is just another babbling that failed to assert how you can sound like an expert, or a scholar of anything. That's okay, It now became a good tool to educate you instead. Everyone knows failure is a step to improve and success! :) You and I agreed that Bulgogi, by definition, is a dish of grilled marinated beef. Just like how "you" pointed out that there is not a perfect way to translate and deliver Korean to English. The three words in the definition does not include and deliver every bit of what Bugolgi is. It is just a big picture of Bulgogi so that people can perceive its big picture. You will never ever see a restaurant that elaborates every bit of a dish on its menu. They can, certainly, but why not? It is just a big picture. That is why every dish has further instructions. if there isn't one, then John does not have to upload his video anymore. Why do you need one when everyone can cook Bulgogoi? Just marinate beef with any mixture of seasoning and grilled it. Tada! Bulgogi! "Man, I am an expert of cooking Bulgogi! I should be hired by Korean restaurants as a chef! Oh, wait! I think I can be a Thai restaurant chef, too. Just stir fry rice with my amazing seasoning and ingredients! Oh my, I think I can be a Japanese food chef, too! Just cook noodles and pour in any broth or water!" I can mention now that Bulgogi is not just a dish of grilled marinated beef. It is KOREAN grilled marinated beef. Do you get a little bit now, James, the Korean? I highly doubt you are Korean though.

Wow, as a Korean, I'm so excited to see a Korean food in your video. Your bulgogi looks delicious. Good job for "Gochugaru". Thanks :)

I once accidentally sliced meat with the grain, a singularity immediately formed and sucked my kitchen into a black hole... so I have to agree, avoid doing that.

For all you critics out there, especially those with some experience making what Chef John presents, please remember that he always says, "This is my take", or version, or spin, or whatever. He honors his inspiration by giving it the same name. Besides, how in hell does anyone really know what's authentic and what isn't. There are as many variations to most dishes as there are cooks!

How do you read my mind? This is at least the 4th time I'd wish you did a recipe and it pops up on my feed! You even updated the Caramel chicken the day I cooked the first recipe! 💖 You really do grant food wishes. lol

We must all become our own Chef John. Believe!

This is one of my favorite dishes! According to Maangchi, who's recipe I've used, you can use a Bosc Pear instead of a Korean Pear. This is what I've done in the past, as Bosc Pears are readily available at my local regular grocery stores. Really looking forward to trying Chef John's take on this. Every recipe of his I've tried has been amazing.

Love it! why do people have to say this is not Bulgogi..you know a recipe is a platform a guide..sometimes we make a recipe our own..that is how recipes are created. He used key ingredients in it and great for some who can not get the exact types of ingredients used in the recipe..I am Filipino and I have seen many people make Chicken Adobo in many ways..but they used the key elements..who's to say what is traditional..Tradition to me is how my family taught me how to make Adobo..I have made it my own.. Love your videos Chef John..God Bless!!

I've personally used a mixture of kiwi and a sweeter apple you might use in an apple pie (sorry I can't think of the name). Korean pears and regular pears are way too different to use in place of eachother.

While you're doing Asian meats, you should make char siu pork. That'd really make my day

Oh man! A Maangchi and A Chef John video within minutes of each other??? and Both about Korean food?? This is too good to be true. I finally understand what Christmas morning feels like.

"Liked" before watching because Chef John is just that awesome 👏🏾

Reminds me of my mother's recipe for Bulgogi.

My grandfather spent time in Korea as an army officer and brought this dish home. One of my favorites when I was a kid. This recipe is much more detailed than watching my gramma make it, but my mouth was watering just watching the video. Thanks for the memory.

I'm Korean and by no means I would consider this an authentic traditional bulgogi recipe, but this is a nice take, and I can see how it will taste similar to how our family makes it (minus the red pepper flakes- that's usually added when we make pork bulgogi not beef). This is your version, and I can respect that. Btw, you crack me up everytime with your corny jokes. "You are the MC of your bulgogee." You are the Eminem of the chefs. You make words rhyme that technically shouldn't rhyme by the way you enunciate certain syllables. Genius :)

Haha ur Korean is great! Every household's bulgogi recipe is different. This one looks amazing!

Your commentary cracks me up!!!! And, that looks completely AMAZING!!!!!

I love this take on bulgogi! I don't get why there were some people getting butthurt about him using a different cut of meat. Meat is meat and it's all delicious to me. I would love to see you make kimchi! I usually watch maangchi for all my Korean recipes, but it would be fun to see you do it! It's not hard - I swear. The hardest part is gathering the ingredients and waiting for the leaves to soften. PS. I'm half-Korean/half-American. I've spent about half my life in each country and don't see why everything has to be exactly the way it's traditionally been made to be good. Has anyone had Korean-Mexican fusion food? Now THAT'S delicious.

One of my favourite recipes! And I am sure Chef John will do it even better than I have had before.

I'm Korean and loved this rendition of Korean bbq! 😋

I used to live just down the street from a sandwich shop owned by a Korean family, and they had Bulgolgi sandwiches. It was Extremely good. Ate there once or twice a week. I drove by the old neighborhood a few months ago, and they were gone. Thanks Chef John.

Much love for your recipes ❤️ thank you so much chef !

omgosh!! bulgogi has been the #2 dish on my "learn how to cook" list, right after tom yum koong :-)

Just tried this with kiwi instead of Asian pear, granulated garlic and ginger, ribeye steak instead of beef short ribs and generic chilli flakes instead of the Korean chili flakes, and i must say, it was amazing. I cannot wait to try it out again with the correct ingredients.

Chef John's videos are the only ones worth watching in HD.

Enjoyed the recipe AND the interpretation. Bulgogi is indeed thin meat. And to that end thinly sliced rib eye is usually used but only for convenience. Any thinly sliced beef can be used. Heat is not typical for this dish but hey, Chef John, I'll bet it kicks teeth! The use of fruits is also a modern day interpretation. (I'm ancient) and one that I like. Korean pears were only created by hybrid about 30 years ago. Some use kiwi, pineapple, pears and papaya. But the Korean pear in this marinade is king! Nice share. Too bad so many don't have the sophisticated sense of humor that you have. Or the palate. If a green is needed, red shiso or perilla leaves serve just fine!!!

YUM!!! I want to have that right now 😍😋

omg yay! As a long time subscriber of your channel, I'm so excited to see a pretty authentic recipe from my culture :) thanks, Chef John!

Looks amazing. On the list for things to try. (It's a long list, and I've done very few, but this looks easy enough I might actually do it soon).

this guy is a trip. i definitely watch more of his videos now.

This looks and sounds great and it's so fast and easy.

My favorite Korean dish, thanks for the video.

I love Bulgogi! I will be trying this! Thank you!

Always enjoyable watching your videos.

Oh my gosh, I love watching your videos!!

Looks so delicious Chef. Thanks for sharing. I will definitely be trying this one very soon.

I am so trying this over the weekend!!❤️❤️

Omg! It's like you're reading my mind! I started watching videos for this recipe yesterday! I love you so much more now!!

This with sticky rice would be great! Thanks for the recipe!

I love this dish, easy to make and works with venison too!

wow, looks great! my 1st thought was use the pan drippings for a sauce and bam it was so! rock on Chef John.

I've been subscribed for a few months. I have to say that you feel like my friend. I cook a lot and really well: you speak my language and teach me things I need to know! You ARE the Fresh MC to your Bulgogi, Chef John

I immediately clicked thumbs up with the pronunciation of Gochugawrow. You are the Dan Bilzerian of your Korean. You are also my culinary and comedic hero, Chef John!

Chef John, I am a big fan. It's not very important, but I wanted to comment that in Korean beef-marinated dishes, two most commonly known are bulgogi and galbi. The ingredients used in the marinate overlap a lot, but one of the main differences is that galbi uses beef short ribs versus bulgogi uses thinly-sliced ribeye meat. Traditionally, this is the case, however, there is no reason why we shouldn't try a new combination. But this may be the reason why some people are arguing against this dish being bulgogi. Still looks very delicious regardless.

Never miss a video of yours!

this looks like a recipe im willing to try. Bulgogi is awesome.

the photos shop part made me lol. nice one!!!!

Great recipe Chef John! You can broil it in the oven too with good effect! This is a favorite!

Thumbs up for the freakishly small wooden spoon.

thank you very much for sharing such wonderful recipe. I will surly try it. have good day ☺

This looks so good... and now I'm hungry!

This looks REALLY good.

I love your videos! You're so funny! I actually like the way you talk! Keeps it more entertaining. :D

Chef John, you should really do a Korean food recipe series. All the Korean audiences like me would greatly love that!!! For your next recipe, you should try to cook Tteokbokki which is a Korean spicy rice cake dish that has vegetables and fish cakes in it.

Great video. I've been wanting you to do this for awhile.

Oh my god ! Thank you ! Most Korean restaurants I visit in the states do not grill/pan fry the beef properly . Thank you for demonstrating the technique I enjoyed at the restaurants in Songtan , South Korea back in 1992 . It is so hard to find good Bulgogi in the North East . Thanks for the Recipe and for answering MY food wish .

looks delicious chef

this looks really good

Chef John I love your videos. Pay no attention to that internet troll who doesn't get a hint at a joke. You've inspired me to love cooking though, thanks!!

I really do want to get decent at cooking and make it a little hobby of mine, and I find your videos so interesting! Thanks for the great work!

As a korean passing by the marinade is surprisingly authentic, yet i advice less chili and more pear and honey(that is the sweet content). Chili flakes are less common in bulgogi marinades but it could fly by as chef John take ( and his love for cayenne)

It's a pretty Plate! The Korean BBQ looks fantastic... Thanks Chef! :)

Chef John, you are the greatest! er...I mean...the grate-est!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I aboslutely love bulgogi! You rock Chef John! When i cook this at home i usually buy it pre-marinated from the store, but my watering mouth can only fathom how good this tastes fresh and home-marinated.

This looks delicious.

The entire time I was trying to guess what you were going to say we were of our bulgogi 😆 looks amazing as always!

I love you Chef John.

Omg this looks phenomenal

great job, chef John!

Love the multinational plate! Lol The food looks good too

I lived in Kunsan for a year as a single airman, and lived off this dish at least 5 nights a week. Even though the meat there was more shredded, I can't wait to cook it and try it in Chef Johns take.

The young emcee of your bulgogi. I love this guy

Cannot wait to try this! Looks delicious - funny commentary :)

perfect.. this is the exact traditional marinate if you're korean i won't even be surprised

and like always... great video

Yes finally first😄😄😃. Love you Chef John

I looove Korean food. I had just finished watching a video Maangchi posted not long ago. I would love to see you make more Korean food.

Food wishes is a real thing 😳 I was googling beef bulgogi, decided to check here, and this was uploaded today.

My Mom would make Bulgogi like this for me throughout her life. She would use various cuts of beef, anything from round, to ribeye, to country ribs. Yes she was Korean (surname Yu). Yes the argument about the type of meat is a bit inane. It's like arguing there is only one way to make chili. She would use pear, Asian pear, or kiwi. All work well in my experience. We never tried 7Up but some folks do that... She would cook it in a cast iron pan (and pour those delicious juices over my rice), or on the grill, or on one of those funky domed grills. And it was always delicious. And it was always Bulgogi. Thanks Chef John!! 😄

Thanks for the new recipe to add to my book

thank you so much chef John!

Chef John's Korean is on point

I think I am going to make this and have a pleasantly surprising dinner with my Korean parents! Thank you!
