Why You’ll Love This Sheet Pan Dinner
- Easy to make. This might be one of the easiest beef bulgogi recipes out there, as it requires no grilling and limited hands-on time.

What is Korean Beef Bulgogi?
Beef bulgogi is a popular Korean BBQ dish featuring thinly sliced steak that’s marinated in ingredients like soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic. It’s typically grilled though stovetop beef bulgogi is popular as well.
Today’s recipe is a twist on the classic version as the beef is cooked on a sheet pan in the oven instead of grilled or stir-fried.
Ingredients Needed
Here is an overview of what you’ll need for this easy beef bulgogi recipe
(Scroll down to the recipe card below for details and measurements.)
- Dark soy sauce – The umami base of the beef bulgogi marinade.
- Brown sugar – Sweetens the marinade with hints of molasses.
- Worcestershire sauce – Adds more savory umami flavor to the sauce.
- Ginger & garlic – For wonderful aromatics and earthy flavor.
- Chilli garlic sauce – Adds a bit of heat.
- Sesame oil & sesame seeds – Classic ingredients in Korean recipes.
- Beef sirloin – Be sure to slice it very thinly against the grain.
- Onion & snap peas – Veggies that help turn this sheet pan beef bulgogi into a complete meal.
- Olive oil – For richness and necessary moisture.
- Salt & pepper – To season the dish.
- Scallions – Adds a subtle peppery onion flavor.
How to Make Sheet Pan Beef Bulgogi
This easy beef bulgogi recipe comes together quickly, though do keep in mind it needs to marinate for at least 20 minutes.
(Scroll down to the recipe card below for more detailed instructions and don’t miss the video below.)
- Marinate the beef. Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add the steak and toss to coat. Cover and chill for a minimum of 20 minutes.
- Arrange everything on the baking sheet. Let the beef come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Place the onion and snap peas on the baking sheet then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Push the veggies to one side and add the steak strips in a single layer on the other half of the baking sheet.
- Bake. Roast in the oven at 450F for 10 minutes, until the steak is slightly charred and the veggies are crisp-tender.
- Enjoy. Sprinkle with the scallions and serve with cooked white rice, if desired.
Tips & Variations
- Cut the steak properly. The key to great Korean beef bulgogi is to slice the steak very thinly and against the grain. You’ll want to use a sharp knife and may even find that freezing the steak for a few minutes helps to slice it thinner.
- Marinate overnight. If you can, marinate your beef bulgogi overnight. 20 minutes is the absolute minimum and an hour is good if you’re short on time but marinating it overnight will result in the best flavor.
- Avoid overcooking. The steak cooks very fast since it’s sliced so thin, and you want the veggies to be crisp-tender, not soft. 10 minutes at high heat is usually just the right amount of time for both.

Serving Suggestions
Korean beef bulgogi is typically served over white rice, so that’s how I serve this sheet pan dinner. You could also serve it over cauliflower rice for a low-carb option or just omit the rice completely and enjoy it in lettuce wraps. Side dish-wise, dumplings, miso soup, and wonton soup are all solid options.
How to Store & Reheat Leftovers
- Fridge. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I recommend storing the rice separately so it doesn’t soak up any remaining sauce from the steak.
- Freeze. Allow to cool completely, then store in an airtight freezer-safe container. It will keep up to 2 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating, keeping in mind that cooked frozen and thawed vegetables tend to have a mushy texture.
- Reheat. Reheat leftover beef bulgogi in the microwave until hot.

Great recipe! So flavorful and one sheet pan, YAY!
Family said they could eat this once a week! Marinated the meat for 20 hours.
Excellent meal! Thinly Sliced a round roast instead of the steak and used broccoli and peppers. Marinated the meat for about 5 hours and it was perfect. Served over white rice. Next time, I will use some of the marinade to flavor the veggies a bit. Definitely adding this to the dinner rotation. Thanks!
Such an easy and flavorful recipe! Made as listed, except didn’t have fresh ginger so just added a bit of dry ginger. Marinated for about 4 hours. Helpful to freeze the meat for at least an hour prior.
