• Thinly slicing the beef against the grain will result in a more tender texture.
• If you don't have a grill pan, you can also cook the beef on a regular skillet or even on a barbecue grill.

• Leftover beef bulgogi can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, simply heat it in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
• Serve the beef bulgogi with steamed rice and a side of Ssamjang dipping sauce for a complete meal.
