The sun is shining and it’s grilling time! My Korean Bulgogi Grilled Steak Kabobs with Yellow Rice Pilaf is the perfect welcome to Summer dish.
I am in love with Bulgogi. My first taste of Bulgogi Steak came in the form of a beautiful taco. Yes people, this was the best taco I’ve ever eaten. The steak taco was so tasty I had to find out what was in it, so I do what I always do, ask the chef!
This is one of the simplest dishes around. Steak is marinated overnight with grated pear, garlic, sesame and olive oil, ginger, and lots of wonderful spices.
After being grilled to perfection, the steak takes on a wonderful flavor of sweet, spicy and tangy. I love the little hint of pear that sneaks though every bite of this tender meat.
If possible, try locating a Korean pear, it really does make a difference in the overall flavor of the finished steak.
Don’t forget the perfect side dish for the steak kabobs is this beautiful Yellow Rice Pilaf.
I created the wonderful color and flavor of the rice pilaf with the help of turmeric powder, grated carrots and chicken broth.
All done and ready to eat.
Enjoy!
