Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef rib-eye or sirloin, thinly sliced
- 80 ml Soy sauce
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 30 ml Sesame oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 large Pear, grated (preferably Korean pear)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 medium White onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 1 tablespoon Cooking oil (for grilling)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated pear, minced ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the bowl and mix well, ensuring all the meat pieces are thoroughly coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate for 2-4 hours or overnight.
Once the beef has marinated, heat a tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced white onion and julienned carrots to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Increase the heat to high and add the marinated beef slices along with any remaining marinade from the bowl.
Stir-fry the beef and vegetables for about 5-10 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally.
Add the sliced green onions and sesame seeds to the skillet, and continue to cook for an additional minute, allowing the onions to soften and the sesame seeds to become aromatic.
Remove the cooked bulgogi from the heat and transfer it to a serving platter.
Serve hot with steamed rice and other Korean side dishes such as kimchi or pickled vegetables.
