Air Fryer Trader Joe's Bool Kogi
Description
Sweet, savory Korean marinated beef with caramelized edges — cooked in the air fryer in about 10 minutes. No marinating and no grill required.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Trader Joe's Bool Kogi, 1 package
- Cooking spray
- 2 teaspoons Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
- 2 teaspoons Sliced green onions, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for 5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray or line it with air fryer parchment paper.
- Separate the beef slices, letting excess marinade drip off. Arrange in a single layer without overlapping. Cook in batches if needed.
- Air fry for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the slices halfway through, until the edges are browned and caramelized.
- If the edges aren't caramelized, cook 2–3 minutes more, watching closely to avoid overcooking.
- Let rest 2 minutes, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve over rice or with lettuce for wraps.
Equipment
- Cooking Spray
- Parchment Paper, optional
Notes
- Separate the slices before cooking — clumped beef steams instead of searing.
- All air fryers run slightly differently. Start checking at 8 minutes.
- Reheat leftovers at 350°F for 2–3 minutes.
