Pulgogi (Korean Beef)

-2 lbs. beef sirloin

-1/2 C. soy sauce

-1/2 C. water

-1 Tbs sesame oil

-1 Tbs garlic powder

-1/2 tsp. ginger

-3 Tbs brown sugar or honey (white sugar may be substituted)

-kimchi

1) Before beginning, freeze meat for 10 minutes, to make for easier slicing. Slice beef as thinly as possible.

2) Cut meat into bite-sized squares, put meat into large bowl. Add all other ingredients and mix well with wooden spoon.

3) Cover and refrigerate several hours (at least 1 hour) to marinate meat.

4) Transfer everything to large saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat until mixture begins to simmer. Cover and cook about 30 minutes, until meat is thoroughly cooked. Stir every 5 minutes to prevent meat from sticking. Serve with rice and kimchi.
