Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams beef ribeye or sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 large pear (grated)
- 2 stalks green onions (finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated pear, chopped green onions, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the bowl and mix well, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Once the pan is hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Sear the beef for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
Remove the cooked beef from the pan and repeat with remaining pieces, if needed.
Transfer the cooked Bul Go Gi to a serving plate, garnish with sesame seeds if desired, and serve hot with steamed rice or lettuce wraps.
