Bulgogi Cheesesteak Sandwich

[heart_this] · Jun 27, 2011 · 13 Comments

Bulgogi Cheesesteak Sandwich

Korean style sweet and salty marinated beef done ‘cheesesteak’ style with sauteed peppers and onions and melted cheese.

Not too long ago I tried an experiment by using daeji bulgogi, a Korean spicy BBQ pork in a Vietnamese style banh mi sandwich that I particularly enjoyed. While I was contemplating banh mi recipe I could not help but think about other sandwiches that Korean bulgogi would be good in and one thought led to another and before I knew it I was thinking about a bulgogi cheesesteak sandwich! The basic idea was to use beef bulgogi in a Philly cheesesteak style sandwich with sauted onions, peppers and melted cheese. This recipe is pretty simple, you just make the bulgogi, saute some onions and peppers, assemble the sandwich, melt the cheese and you are good to go! I have to say that the complex flavours of the bulgogi that balances sweet and salty worked very well in a cheesesteak sandwich with sauteed peppers and onions, all covered in melted cheese! If you prefer your sandwich to be on the spicier side a tablespoon of gochujang sauce would be the perfect way to add some heat!

    I actually gasped when I saw this. My husband's favorite meal in the world is Beef Bulgogi. Sadly, it never even occurred to me to make it at home! ha ha. This is going on our menu soon. Thanks, Kevin!

    Now this is a fusion recipe I can get behind! I like it and can't wait to give it a taste. I think the type of bread would make a big difference, though I've never met a bread I didn't love. 🙂

    As if a cheesesteak wasn't good enough, you went and made it even better with this Korean twist!

    I love bulgogi and didn't realize you had such a delightful selection of other Korean recipes on your site (the first one I'll be trying is the "spicy pork" — a recipe I've been looking for for quite some time!)

    I would have never thought of a blugogi Philly steak sandwich, though! Love the way your mind works.
