    I did it the sheet pan/oven method for convenience, and while i didn't get a real crispiness to the meat, the flavor was great. Really had that bulgogi flavor. I made extra so I was able to enjoy the leftovers cold the next day with the pickled shallots as a lunch salad.

    Very yummy and fast! Never thought I'd take the time to dehydrate my own lemon peel, but it was easy enough and the resulting spice blend is so so delicious. The tangy pickling juice from the shallots and the cilantro over the rice gave me Chipotle rice bowl vibes in the best way.

    I have made this using both methods — pan frying and oven broiling — and I think the oven worked much better. I poured a small amount of oil on a sheet pan, coated the meat on both sides and spread it out in a single layer and then put the seasoning blend on top. I ended up having to broil it for close to 10 minutes to get the desired doneness, but it turned out amazing! I think when you pan fry, you lose some of the seasoning off the meat in the process, but with broiling in the oven you retain all the spices. It’s a total flavor bomb for sure. Another advantage of the oven method is that it is much less messy — no oil splattered all over the stove to clean up.

    Like previous reviewers loved this for its flavour and ease. The lemon pepper mix is a flavour bomb. I used pork fillet because I had some in the freezer and it wasn’t overwhelmed. The only complaint from the silver fox was that he was expecting some sauce, so I grabbed him some kewpie and he was happy.

    I am not getting the big flavor pop that I expected but it was still good enough. Served with the gem salad with seaweed from the same book.

    Very Easy and quite good. The lemon pepper has incredible flavor but does not overwhelm the beef. The brightness brought to the dish by freshly dehydrated lemon zest is worth the effort.

    Quite good and very easy. The pepper mixture gives the bulgogi massive flavor. The rest is incredibly easy to assemble.
