This is a good basic recipe to make Bulgogi which is the Korean name for this dish.
But I made a few changes to make this recipe authentic.
1. instead of using shallots I used spring onions
2. I used half brown sugar and half white
3. I also added 1 tsp crushed ginger which is a key ingredient for this dish, I'm surprised it's not listed.
4. Instead of using mirin which is Japanese, I used Korean cooking wine, attention: rice wine vinegar is NOT a substitute!!!! You can however use mirin if that is the only thing you can find.
5. to soften the meat, add shredded Korean pear to the marinade, if you can't find it, someone suggested Kiwi pulp which is good too.
6. The sesame oil should be added after the meat has been marinated for a while as it prevents the flavour get into the meat.
And if you don't like chuck eye, try topside sirloin, works just as well!
The meat is tradtionally served with steamed rice.
Hope this info is useful.
