Bibimbap gets its name from the Korean words for “mixed rice” and that’s exactly how it’s served: after piling meat, veggies, and grains into bowls, you get to stir it all together and dig in! Our partners at the Northeast Beef Promotion Initiative shared their recipe for the dish, which is perfect for a weeknight meal. The seasonings center around signature Korean ingredients like soy sauce and gochujang (chili paste), which make the already rich and robust flavor of flank steak truly shine.

Korean Beef Bibimbap with Flank Steak Recipe

Makes about 4 servings

What You’ll Need

For the beef and marinade*:
1 lb. beef flank steak
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons minced scallions
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons peeled and minced ginger

For serving:
4 servings cooked brown rice
Steamed broccoli florets
Sautéed sliced shiitake mushrooms
Shredded carrots
Mung bean sprouts
Gochujang (Korean chili paste), to taste

*Marinade ingredients may be substituted with ½ cup prepared bulgogi sauce.

What To Do

Cut steak in half lengthwise, then slice against the grain into ⅛–¼-inch-thick strips. In a medium bowl, mix the soy sauce, scallions, brown sugar, garlic and ginger. Add sliced steak and toss to coat. Cover bowl and let marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.

Heat a large, nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove steak from marinade, discarding any excess marinade. Add half the steak to the pan and stir-fry until slices are no longer pink on the outside, 1–2 minutes (do not overcook). Transfer to a plate or bowl and keep warm. Repeat with remaining half of steak.

Divide rice between 4 bowls, then arrange cooked steak and vegetables for serving on top. Add a dollop of gochujang, if desired. Mix together everything in the bowl before eating.

Think outside of the box at your next taco night w Think outside of the box at your next taco night with this recipe where everything is cooked simply on a sheet pan. We love making these tacos with salmon, but feel free to swap it with shrimp, scallops, or another fish fillet.

What you'll need:
- One third of a 7 oz can of chipotle peppers in adobo (about 1/4 cup)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup lightly-packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup freshly-squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 small container grape tomatoes
- 1 onion, cut into wedges through root end
- 6 scallion bottoms (trim off the green parts)
- 1 poblano pepper, cut into 1-inch strips
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch strips
- For serving: tortillas, lime wedges, sour cream

What to do:
Preheat oven to 400 F. Season salmon with salt and pepper and set aside.

Place chipotles in adobo in food processor or blender, along with honey, lightly-packed brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, and cumin. Blend until well-combined. Set aside a few tablespoons of sauce for serving, then transfer the rest to a large bowl.

Place salmon in bowl and evenly-coat all over in sauce. Transfer fillets to a foil-lined baking sheet, leaving excess sauce in bowl. Add to bowl tomatoes, onion wedges, poblano and bell peppers, and scallions. Toss to coat in sauce, then add in an even layer to the baking sheet with the salmon.

Roast everything in the oven until salmon is done and vegetables lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Serve inside tortillas with lime wedges, sour cream, and reserved sauce.

This cioppino recipe is excellent for a quick and This cioppino recipe is excellent for a quick and warming weeknight meal. Typically, it would be made with whatever the catch of the day was, and you can feel free do the same here by swapping out any other fish or shellfish you’ve got—clams, crab, squid, lobster, halibut, or sea bass would all be worthy choices. 

What you'll need:
- 3 tablespoons + 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 fennel bulb, diced
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and chopped
- ½ cup kalamata olives, rinsed and chopped
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes
- 2 cups dry white wine
- One 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups water
-2 lb. mussels
- One 8–10 oz. fillet of cod or other white fish (skin may be left on or off)
- ½ lb. shrimp
 

What to do:
Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy pot over medium heat. Add onion, fennel, capers, olives and salt. Sauté a few minutes until onion and fennel begin to soften. Toss in the garlic and sauté until fragrant, 1-2 minutes more.

Stir in chili flakes, then pour in white wine. Simmer until liquid is mostly evaporated, then stir in crushed tomatoes, ½ cup olive oil, and 2 cups water. Simmer for a few minutes, then add mussels. Cover and simmer 3 minutes.

Cut fish into bite-sized pieces and add to stew along with shrimp. Simmer uncovered a few minutes more until both are cooked through. Serve in bowls with crusty bread and salted butter.
