Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Beef: Freeze the beef chuck roast for 40 minutes to 2 hours for easier slicing. Cut into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. Mix the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, Korean BBQ sauce, soy sauce, water, crushed garlic, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined and sugar dissolves.
  3. Marinate the Beef: Add sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
  4. Cook the Beef: Heat a large skillet over high heat with sesame oil. Add marinated beef without overcrowding and cook for about 5 minutes until browned.
  5. Serve the Bulgogi: Transfer cooked beef to a serving platter. Serve hot with steamed rice, lettuce leaves, kimchi, and pickled radishes.
