Bulgogi Marinated Cheesesteak
The menu at Campfire focuses on casual food made with market-driven ingredients. In sync with the restaurant’s name, Chef Andrew Bachelier uses live fire to cook many of the dishes. This beef in this recipe is seared a la plancha, but can easily be cooked in a grill pan as well. Fusing Korean flavors with local cheese in an iconic American sandwich makes for a craveable combination.
