Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup kimchi, chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
  • 1 cup bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 4 slices provolone or American cheese
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil

Optional Marinade Additions

  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the beef sirloin thinly, as well as the yellow onion and bell peppers into strips. Chop the kimchi into bite-sized pieces for even cooking and flavor distribution.
  2. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and sugar if using. Add the sliced beef and coat thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, stirring occasionally until they are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
  4. Cook the Beef: Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the marinated beef to the empty side and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add Kimchi: Stir the chopped kimchi into the skillet mixture and cook for an additional 2 minutes to warm through and meld the flavors.
  6. Assemble the Sandwiches: Place the bulgogi and vegetable mixture onto toasted hoagie rolls. Top each sandwich with a slice of provolone or American cheese.
  7. Melt the Cheese: Place the assembled sandwiches under the broiler for about 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add some gochujang (Korean chili paste) to the marinade.
  • Use hoagie rolls or any sturdy sandwich bread that can hold the juicy filling.
  • Marinating the beef longer (up to 1 hour) intensifies the flavor.
  • If broiler is not available, you can melt the cheese on the stovetop covered for a few minutes.
  • Kimchi can vary in spiciness, so adjust the amount according to your preference.
