Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin
- 60 milliliters soy sauce
- 1 medium pear
- 4 units garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soybean paste (doenjang)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 3 units green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 medium bell peppers
- 150 grams white mushrooms
- 150 grams extra-firm tofu
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain into pieces about 1/8 inch thick to ensure tenderness.
Peel and grate the pear, then place it in a medium-sized bowl to make the marinade.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and the ginger, and add them to the bowl with the grated pear.
Mix in soy sauce, honey, soybean paste, sesame oil, and black pepper into the bowl to create the marinade.
Cut the extra-firm tofu into small cubes and add it to the marinade, coat thoroughly, and mix gently with the beef to incorporate everything well.
Let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
While the beef and tofu are marinating, slice the bell peppers and mushrooms, and chop the green onions.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the marinated meat-tofu mixture and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the beef is just cooked through and begins to caramelize.
Add the sliced bell peppers and mushrooms to the pan, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender yet still crisp.
Stir in the chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds, reserving a few for garnish.
Serve the High Protein Bulgogi Beef hot, garnished with the reserved green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy it on its own or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
