Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Beef thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup Soy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Ginger grated
  • 2 stalks Green Onion chopped
  • 0.5 small Pear grated
For Serving
  • Rice cooked
  • Sesame Seeds toasted
Optional Garnish
  • 0.5 tsp Red Pepper Flakes

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Skillet or grill pan
  • Grater
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the beef thinly and set aside.
Marinating
  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onion, and grated pear to create the marinade.
  2. Add the sliced beef to the marinade and mix well, ensuring all the beef is coated.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the marinated beef for at least 30 minutes, or preferably for several hours for maximum flavor.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the marinated beef in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked through and caramelized.
Serving
  1. Serve the cooked bulgogi immediately with cooked rice.
  2. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and red pepper flakes, if desired.

Notes

For best results, marinate the beef overnight to allow the flavors to fully develop. Adjust the sweetness and spice levels to your preference. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of kimchi or other Korean banchan.
