Bulgogi Ground Beef

This excellent 'short cut,' North American-style bulgogi was an instant favorite the first time I made it and is great on its own over rice or as a bibimbap topping. It is largely based on this great recipe, but I made one or two adjustments to make it better fit my family's preferences. Whatever you prepare  it for, I hope you like it as much as we do!
