You can’t beat a steak sandwich and this one is super spicy and extra tasty! It certainly brightened up an otherwise uneventful Saturday for us.
Bulgogi cheese steak sandwich – serves 4
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 clove of garlic, grated
- 1 tsp light brown soft sugar
- 2 tbsp gochujang paste
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- ½ pear, peeled and cubed
- 2 sirloin steaks, trimmed of fat and very finely sliced (this is easier if you freeze for 20 minute before slicing)
- 1 baguette, cut into 4
- mild cheddar cheese
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- sesame seeds
Mix the ginger, garlic, sugar, gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil and rice vinegar together in a large bowl, then mash in the pear. Add the steak and leave to marinate for an hour.
Halve the pieces of baguettte and add a layer of cheese.
Heat a wok over a high heat. Add the beef and marinade, bring to a simmer and stir until the meat is cooked through.
Spoon the meat into the baguettes and sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds.

We can’t resist those little plastic tubs of pork rillettes found in the fridge section of French supermarkets. Here’s what happened the end of the tub we brought home. No more rillettes until next year… unless we try making it ourselves of course.
