Korean-Inspired Bulgogi Breakfast Biscuit Sandwiches

CookwithNewsletter

Channeling the gleeful chaos and joyful celebration of food culture seen at the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, these Korean-inspired Bulgogi Breakfast Biscuit Sandwiches marry iconic American breakfast vibes with the craveable punch of Korean BBQ. Tender marinated beef, fluffy eggs, and spicy kimchi are layered in a buttery biscuit—a nod to both 'Best Breakfast' and 'Best Beef.' Unexpected, soulful, and a little over-the-top, this is the kind of breakfast sandwich you’d order for the story as much as the flavor. Perfect for a brunch that's as vibrant and memorable as the LCCAs themselves.

Ingredients

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, grated Asian pear, and black pepper. Add beef and onion, tossing to coat. Marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to overnight in the fridge.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with a little neutral oil. Add marinated beef and onion. Sauté until beef is browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
While beef cooks, whisk eggs with milk and a pinch of salt. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add eggs and gently scramble until just set and creamy. Remove from heat.
Warm biscuits in the oven if needed. Split each biscuit and layer bottom half with a handful of baby spinach, a generous spoonful of bulgogi beef, a scoop of kimchi, and a portion of scrambled eggs.
Top with green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, then cap with the biscuit top. Serve immediately, with extra kimchi and hot sauce if desired.
