We were visiting my moms friend in Los Angeles and she took us out for Korean barbecue.

My first taste ofkimchi, banchan, andbulgogiand I was hooked.

Instead of saying goodbye to my favorite foods, I set about learning to make them at home.

Korean food was one of the first cuisines I tackled.

I love serving these skewers with rice, kimchi, and some extra gochujang on the side.

Use a very hot cast iron skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Add the strips to the bowl of marinade and stir until evenly coated.

Marinate the strips of beef for 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature.

If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes.
