2 lb sirloin steak
3 scallions
4 cloves garlic
5 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp sherry
1/4 cup beef stock (optional)
1/8 tsp black pepper
Directions
1. Slice the steak very thin on the bias. Score each piece with an X.
2. Chop the scallions and crush the garlic. Combine these
ingredients with the remaining seasonings in a bowl. Add the meat to
the marinade and mix well until all sides of the steak are coated.
3. The meat may be grilled immediately. The best results are
obtained if the steak is marinated for 2 hours. The marinade will
keep overnight
Variation: Use rib steak or flank steak.
Bul Kogi is so popular that many Koreans consider it the national meat
dish. Serve with rice and kimchi.

The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of written recipes back into the far past, at least as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, mostly, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `wonderful`. Later, we have some recipe books dating from the 14th Century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books have no connection with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of food served to the rich. For the decades that followed, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
