Ingredients

  • Thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin beef
  • Kimchi
  • Sweet onions or yellow onions
  • Provolone or mozzarella cheese
  • Sesame oil
  • Korean BBQ sauce
  • Sub rolls
  • Soy sauce
  • Brown sugar
  • Minced garlic
  • Minced ginger
  • Olive oil (optional for substitution)
  • Teriyaki sauce (optional for substitution)
  • Pickled vegetables (optional for substitution)
  • Shallots (optional for substitution)
  • Pepper jack cheese (optional for substitution)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine thinly sliced beef, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the beef marinates, slice your onion and chop the kimchi into smaller pieces if needed. Set aside for later.
  3. Cook the Beef: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add a touch of sesame oil, then add the marinated beef in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Sauté the Onions: In the same skillet, add a bit more sesame oil if necessary, and toss in the sliced onions. Sauté until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the Kimchi: Stir in the chopped kimchi and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together with the onions.
  6. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked beef back into the skillet with the onions and kimchi. Mix everything together, then drizzle in your Korean BBQ sauce. Stir well to coat all the ingredients.
  7. Toast the Rolls: While the beef mixture is finishing up, place your sub rolls on a baking sheet. Toast them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 3-4 minutes until lightly golden.
  8. Assemble the Cheesesteaks: Once the rolls are toasted, fill each roll generously with the beef, onion, and kimchi mixture. Top with your choice of cheese, and if desired, place them back in the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  9. Serve: Remove the cheesesteaks from the oven. You can garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy your Irresistible Korean Inspired Kimchi Bulgogi Cheesesteak!
