Korean Steak on flat bread

KOREAN STYLE STEAK / FLAT BREAD SANDWICH

This is one of my favorites of the new recipes that we have designed !

In this case we are using a Korean Bul Koge marinade and the beef steak is choice rib eye.The meat sliced about 1/4 X 1/" thick slices. Then into  is marinated overnight or for several hours. You can use any marinade you like, salt, celery powder and black pepper and a little virgin olive oil is a great marinade for beef. 

These are just basic ingredients, you could add different or make changes according to what you like. In this case we have the marinated rib eye, thin slice  onions, Portobello mushrooms, shredded lettuce and american Swiss cheese. And this is what  you get . . . . . .

TAKOYAKI PANCAKE

TAKOYAKI PANCAKES

TAKOYAKI - Korean Style
As I understand it, all of these types of pancake things originated with the Vikings. There love for pancakes they call Aebleskivers caused them to cook these pancakes in the dents in their shields and helmets. They took this kind of stuffed pancake balls and spread them around the world. The Japanese call them takoyaki. Traditionally they are stuffed with octopus and seasonings. Here since Tae is Korean, (who have their own version stuffed with walnuts and brown sugar) we will have a little Korean twist on these little gems.
