Korean-Inspired Kimchi Bulgogi Cheesesteak

A flavorful fusion of Korean bulgogi and classic cheesesteak, featuring tender beef, tangy kimchi, and melted provolone cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup kimchi, chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
  • 1 cup bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 4 slices provolone or American cheese
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil
  • Optional: minced garlic and sugar for marinade

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef Marinade: In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef sirloin, soy sauce, sesame oil, and if you’re using it, minced garlic and a pinch of sugar. Let it marinate for at least 15-30 minutes or, for maximum flavor, overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. Sauté the Veggies: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Once it shimmers, toss in the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender.
  3. Cook the Beef: Push the veggies to the side of the skillet and add the marinated beef to the pan. Let it sear for about 4-5 minutes until browned.
  4. Add Kimchi: Fold the chopped kimchi into the beef and veggies, letting it heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Melt the Cheese: Place the cheese slices on top and cover the skillet for about 1-2 minutes until melted.
  6. Assemble the Cheesesteak: Toast hoagie rolls if desired, then fill them generously with the beef, veggies, and melted cheese.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or add more vegetables to suit your taste.
