Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef sirloin — For the best results, choose a tender cut of beef like sirloin. Slice it thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
- Saffron threads — To enhance the flavor and aroma of saffron, soak the threads in a tablespoon of warm water for a few minutes before adding them to the marinade.
Tips & Tricks
- For a smokier flavor, you can grill the marinated beef instead of cooking it in a skillet.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a chopped chili pepper to the marinade.
- Serve the Spanish-style Bulgogi with a side of grilled vegetables for a complete and nutritious meal.
Serving advice
Serve the Spanish-style Bulgogi hot, accompanied by steamed rice or crusty bread. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Presentation advice
Arrange the Spanish-style Bulgogi on a platter, allowing the vibrant colors of the beef and onions to shine through. Sprinkle some additional smoked paprika on top for an extra touch of Spanish flair.
