Bulgogi beef is a favorite among many [Korean BBQ aficionados](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/korean-bbq-flavor); if you're one of them, you'll be happy to learn that it isn't too difficult to replicate these flavors at home.

To begin, combine [gochujang](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spam-gochujang) (Korean chili paste), garlic, ginger, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, black pepper, oil, scallions and cilantro in a food processor. Pulse until you have a smooth sauce. Put the steak in a shallow dish and pour your marinade over it, making sure the entire surface of the steak is covered.

To cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and grill for 6 to 8 minutes per side depending on thickness until the steak is cooked medium-rare. It's a fairly easy process start to finish, and the deliciously savory Korean-style grilled steak will be well worth it.
