Instructions
Place the sirloin steaks in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up slightly, then slice thinly against the grain using a sharp knife.
2 medium sirloin steaks
Place the sliced steak into a large bowl and add all of the bulgogi ingredients except for the vegetable oil. Mix together thoroughly, then cover with clingfilm and place in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours to marinate.
2 tbsp dark soy sauce, 2 tbsp gochujang paste, 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, 2 tbsp light brown sugar, 2 tbsp rice wine, 2 garlic cloves, ½ tsp black pepper, 1 grated sweet apple*, 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
Cook the quinoa as per the pack instructions, along with the crumbled stock cube (for extra flavour). Leave to cool slightly and fluff with a fork.
120 g (2/3 cup) dry quinoa, 1 chicken or vegetable stock cube
Once the steak has marinated, heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan on a high heat. Scoop out the steak using a slotted spoon, allow any excess sauce to drip off, then fry the steak in the hot oil. Use a set of tongs to separate the steak sliced during cooking, and cook on a high heat until cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from the heat.
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Arrange the salad leaves between three bowls and top with the cooked quinoa. Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds on top of the quinoa. Arrange the cucumber, bell pepper slices, mango, jalapeno slices, and radishes in the bowls.
100 g (approx 3 cups) baby salad leaves, seeds from half a pomegranate, half a cucumber, 1 red bell pepper, 1 ripe mango, 1 jalapeno chilli, 3 radishes
Divide the bulgogi between the bowls and sprinkle on the sesame seeds. Top with the spring onions and serve.
1 tsp sesame seeds, 2 spring onions
