Ingredients
- 500 grams beef ribeye or sirloin, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 medium pear, grated
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, grated pear, chopped onion, minced garlic, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the bowl and mix well to ensure each piece is coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for better flavor absorption.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef to the skillet in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the beef for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
Sprinkle the cooked bulgogi with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice, lettuce wraps, or as a topping over salads.
