Need dinner on the table fast? Costco’s bulgogi beef is already a lifesaver—but with just a few simple steps, you can make it taste like restaurant-quality Korean BBQ at home. This quick stir-fry recipe adds mushrooms, onions, and garlic for extra depth and texture, turning the classic Costco bulgogi into a truly satisfying meal.
Equipment
- 1 sauté pan
Ingredients
- 1/2 Box Costco Bulgogi Beef
- 4 clove garlic
- 1 cup oyster mushrooms sliced
- 1 medium onion sliced
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 stalks green onion chopped (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds optional, garnish
Instructions
- Sauté the Mushrooms: Heat a little oil in a pan and add the oyster mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper, then press them down to release their moisture. Cook for 3–4 minutes until tender and lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté the Onions: In the same pan, add the sliced onion. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then cook for 3–5 minutes until softened and lightly golden. Remove and set aside with the mushrooms.
- Cook the Bulgogi Beef: Add ½ box of Costco’s bulgogi beef to the pan along with a few cloves of minced garlic. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, until the beef is sizzling, juicy, and just cooked through.
- Combine & Serve: Return the mushrooms and onions to the pan, toss everything together, then transfer to a serving plate. Top with fresh green onion and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Notes
- Use a Hot Pan: A quick, high-heat stir-fry keeps the beef juicy and tender.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Cook in batches if needed so the beef sears instead of steaming.
- Add Veggies: Mushrooms, onions, and even bell peppers bring texture and balance to the rich bulgogi marinade.
- Finish with Garnish: Fresh green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds give it that extra restaurant touch.
