It’s probably heresy to make Dae Ji Bulgogi in a pressure cooker. In fact, when you think that Bulgogi means Fire Meat or Grilled meat, you have to wonder what I am up to with this heretical dish. Let me just say–try it before you knock it. I love grilled meat as much as the next girl. But there is something about making this meat in the pressure cooker first, and then caramelizing it, that makes for the most tender little morsels of umami goodness you have ever had. Pressure cooking makes the meat tender, it makes the dish almost entirely hands-off, and it infuses beautiful flavor well into the meat in a way that grilling doesn’t–and you can do this in the dead of winter without stepping outside. What’s not to love?
DO I REALLY NEED TO FOLLOW THE FINISHING STEPS AND DIRTY ONE MORE PAN TO MAKE THIS DAE JI BULGOGI??
Listen, if I tell you to do something that is a) extra work and b) extra dishwashing, you have to know there’s a good reason for it. You must know by now how lazy/efficient I am, but also that I test everything I post. Now I will tell you, while you could eat this straight out of the pressure cooker–this dish is ENTIRELY elevated in those 8 minutes you’re going to spend pan-searing and caramelizing it. it is out of this world good when you just go that extra step. I should know. I tried (lots of) it both ways. Looking for more Korean recipes? In under 30 minutes, have delicious Pressure Cooker Keto Bo-Ssäm Pork & Noodles that the whole family will enjoy!
