BEEF BULGOGI

This is a Korean-style dish.  I was afraid that with all the garlic and ginger it would be too spicy, but the marinade had a very good flavor and wasn't over spiced.  I thinly sliced a sirloin steak and marinated it over night, then put it in a pre-heated skillet and quickly stir fried.  It was delicious.  I used the leftovers with rice and some stir fry vegetables the next day and it was still good.
