Ingredients
- 2 lb (900 g) beef sirloin or rib eye thinly sliced, about 1/8-inch thick
- 1 Asian leek or 3 green onion sliced
Bulgogi sauce
- 1/2 large Asian pear peeled and diced. See note for substitution
- 1/4-1/2 kiwi peeled and diced. See note below
- 1/2 large onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic
- 5 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Korean soup soy sauce (gukganjang)
- 2-3 tbsp light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp sweet rice wine (mirim)
- 2 tbsp Korean plum extract (maeshil cheong) optional
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
To marinate beef
- To make bulgogi marinade, put pear, kiwi, onion, and garlic in a blender and process until very smooth.
- Pour the onion/fruit puree into a large shallow pan - a 9x13-inch pyrex baking pan (with lid) is perfect for this. Add soy sauce, Koran soup soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine, Korean plum extract (if using), pepper and sesame oil; mix well. You can make this marinade sauce ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Dab the beef with a paper towel to wipe out extra liquid on the package if there's any. Separate the beef slices and add them to the marinade sauce. Toss gently by hand to combine everything with a slight massaging motion. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
To cook bulgogi
- Heat a skillet very hot over medium-high heat. Do not add any oil! Add the beef. You can add sliced Asian leek or green onion on top. The beef should sizzle as soon as it touches the hot skillet. Let the meat cook in its own juice. Toss the meat around to cook evenly and thoroughly, about 2-3 minutes. It should cook very quickly.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onion to garnish. Serve warm with rice and a vegetable side dish.
Notes
- Asian Pear: If not available, substitute with sweet apple
- Kiwi: This highly acidic fruit tenderizes the beef very fast, so use a small amount. If you intend to marinate the beef longer than 4 hours, use 1/4 kiwi. If marinating less than 4 hours, use 1/2 kiwi. You can also use pineapple instead of kiwi.
