Gangnam Style Buffalo Flank Steak

jill Buffalo Recipes, Jill's Journal, Recipes, Steaks 7 Comments

This recipe was inspired by my new addiction to the “Gangnam Style” dance.

The Korean word gangnam, stands for the south side of Seoul, were there are many fancy restaurants and shops. My recipe is a rendition of Bulgogi (Korean B.B.Q.), which can be served a variety of ways. Here are two of my favorite renditions.

Note: Traditionally the Koreans use high end cuts, but I find that this is not necessary. The flank steak becomes very tender in the marinade. You are going to love this recipe. Get your gangnam on!

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs. Buffalo Flank Steak
  • 1/2 cup Braggs Amino Liquids
  • 2 Tb. Sesame Oil
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 Asian pear, or pear, peeled & cored
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 Tb. sugar
  • 1 Tb. red pepper flake

Gangnam Style Lettuce Wraps (serves 8)

Instructions:

  1. Rinse flank steaks, pat dry and remove any exterior fat.  Place flank steaks on cutting board, using sharp knife cut flank steak on the bias into ¼ “ slices. To cut steaks on the bias, tilt your knife to a 45* angle (the top of your knife blade should be at the 10:00 position). Place sliced flank steaks into a non-reactive bowl.
  2. Place remaining ingredients in blender and puree.
  3. Pour marinade over meat and massage into meat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  4. Heat a wok to high heat or place a large sauté pan over high heat. Brush pan with a little sesame oil, once hot add marinated meat to pan. Stir meat in a tossing manner while cooking, for 3 to 4 minutes.

To Serve:

Place meat on platter with leaf lettuce or iceberg lettuce, accompany with warm rice or rice noodles and julienned vegetables of your choice, along with sesame seeds, fresh garlic, grated ginger and red pepper flake.

Gangnam Style Buffalo Stew

  1. Prepare as above through #4.  Pile meat in center of the wok or pan.
  2. Add vegetables to pan, circling around meat.

      Hi Kat – Braggs Amino Liquids can be found by the soy sauce or vinegars in most grocery or health stores. It is a natural soy alternative, with just 2 ingredients soybean & water. As for the video, we are working up a Gangnam Style dance for our company holiday party!We may just have to post!

    Jill- I fixed the Gangnam style flank steak recipe combined with your stew recipe cutting it in half for just myself for my thanksgiving dinner and then did a jig (dance) using some very old vinyl records I got from a Korean girl friend while serving in the Korean War for two years. I had not played them for many years and it all brought back memories of that war and the Korean people I met-both South and North. Great recipe! I will fix it again over the holidays and invite some local (Seattle-based) Korean women I know who may want to make some modifications on your recipe after discussing it with them on the phone last night. Cheers! Jim P.S. They will also bring some more recent but relevant dance music.
