Bulkogi (Korean Barbecue)

A few nights ago, we fixed this REALLY good Korean dish called "Bulkogi". Everyone absolutely loved it, so I decided to put it up for you all. =D


Makes 6-8 servings
Can be frozen

Bulkogi:
2 pounds top sirloin steak
5 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup granulated Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sesame oil
5 tablespoons water
Leaf lettuce, optional*

*I tried mine with lettuce, and what you do is place a few strips of bulkogi in the lettuce, add whatever you like, (onions, tomatoes, etc.,) and wrap it up. Very good!

Partially freeze the beef about an hour or so to make it easier to slice. Slice the beef as thinly as possible against the grain. It should be in very thin slices, but not falling apart. Mix all of the remaining ingredients except the lettuce. Pour over the meat and marinate at least 1 hour. Put the meat and marinade in a ziploc bag, set it in a baking pan and turn occasionally.

Preheat a contact-type grill (Foreman, GE, etc.)* and grill the meat in batches without closing the lid. Turn meat after a few seconds (it cooks very quickly) to brown the other side and remove to a serving plate; repeat with remaining meat.
(*we don't have a Foreman grill, so we just cooked it in a wok.:)

Serve beef rolled up in lettuce leaves if desired and enjoy!
