Bulgoki (bull go gee) marinade

[KurtB]

I've been using this on chicken, steaks, pork and venison for a while. On the beef and venison, I cut the meat into strips about 3/8 inch thick. I prefer to leave it in this marinade for around 24 to 30 hours.

5 pounds of meat
12 oz soy sauce
6 oz sesame oil
1/4 cup sugar
2 cloves minced garlic
1 bundle chopped green onions
1 kiwi diced(optional)
5 oz of orange juice or coke
Sesame seeds if desired

On the steaks I set the grill on high and sear each side for a minute or two. Awesome stuff. I will typically do steaks one night and reuse the marinade for chicken or pork the following night. Got some elk and deer steaks going in later for some company that is coming over and thought I would share this. My family simply loves it.

Thanks Kurt, I love the stuff too. Gonna have to try that out soon.

I have always seen recipes with coke(soda) in them and have always wondered What the coke was for, taste, sugar, a acid breakdown to the meat fiber? since OJ can also be used, I'm guessing the latter. but can't the same thing be achieved using aged meat?

A lot of times out here in early season, I can't hang meat long enough to age it. My guess is you are right on the coke and orange juice though. Just went and stirred the marinade/meat mix and it is smelling really good. Going to have to cheat a couple on the grill for lunch as a "test" before the company comes over.
