What is the traditional name for a Korean BBQ?

If you're heading into Korea Town for a traditional BBQ, it might interest you to learn that the locals call the practice, "Gogi-Gui (고기구이)." The Korean BBQ typically features cuts of beef, pork, and chicken on the grill.

Can I use a griddle for a Korean BBQ grill?

If you're going to use a grill, make sure you get a Korean model. Look for models with raised ridging on the grill, and a drippings pan to catch the fat. Using a regular griddle isn't recommended, but you can get away with it in a pinch.

How do you clean a Korean BBQ grill?

Scrubbing your grill clean is a hassle, and you'll need to use plenty of effort. We recommend looking for a model where the grill and dripping pan are dishwashers compatible.

Korean BBQ involves unique cuts of beef, chicken, and pork. "Bulgogi" is a dish consisting of paper-thin cuts of beef. We prefer using rib-eye or top sirloin for our bulgogi. The thin-cut makes it easy to use tougher cuts like flank while maintaining a delicate finish to the meal where the meat falls apart in your mouth.
