Directions
For the Sriracha Aioli
- Mix the sriracha and mayonnaise together and keep in a squeeze bottle for later.
For the Bulgogi
- Combine onion, garlic, black pepper, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, soy sauce, and steak in a container. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours.
- When ready to cook, heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak and kimchi. Cook, stirring often, until the steak is done and the kimchi is warm, about 5 to 7 minutes.
