Bulgogi recipes tend to use crushed pear juice to help tenderise the meat, but using coca-cola works too (and it's probably easier to get).
Marinade the meat overnight for best flavour.
Variations on this are fairly easy, you can stir some chopped pepper (as pictured) into the pan, reduce the punch a little by substituting the spring onion for chopped spinach etc.
Either way, you end up with tasty tender steak strips, which go well with rice. To make it even better, serve some Oi Muchim on the side.
