Bulgogi sTEAK with cajun pasta

Written By Albert Le

step 1: The Meat

Grab a food processor or blender, and put all these ingredients in a blender.

  • 1/2 rough chopped onion

  • 1 rough chopped spring onion

  • 2 cloves of garlic

  • 1/4 of a piece of ginger

  • 1/4 cup of soy sauce

  • 1/2 cup of brown sugar

  • 2 teaspoon of black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon of plum extract (this can be found at a Korean, if you can’t find it that’s okay just leave it out)

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon of any neutral vegetable oil

    Blend that all together until its all mixed together, it’s going to come out a little chunky and that’s fine. Pour it over your steaks and make sure it is completely covered before putting it in the fridge for about 1-2 hours. Make sure to fully pat down dry the steak and season both sides with salt and pepper. Cook to medium rare and let rest for about 6-8 minutes.

STEP 2: PASTA and sauce

Any kind of pasta you prefer would work with this recipe. I like using rigatoni because the wholes are a lot bigger than regular penne and that helps the pasta get more sauce in them.

  1. Add water to a pot (follow box instructions for how much)

  2. Once boiling add salt to taste

  3. Add in pasta and cook to al dente (box instructions should tell you how long)

  4. save about 1/4 cup of pasta water and drain the pasta in a strainer

  5. Heat up a sauce pan on a medium heat

  6. add 3 cups of heavy whipping cream

  7. add 1 cup of parmesan

  8. 1/4 cup of any Cajun seasoning

  9. add pasta water and stir

  10. Add noodles to sauce, and mix until the sauce is fully incorporated

step 3: plating

After all this effort you have to plate your lover’s food very nice and pretty for them. I don’t care what your plate looks like, make sure their plate looks nice. You can use my example of the picture above, make sure to top it with grated parmesan and parsley, in that order! Enjoy.
