Beef Bulgogi
Description
This Beef Bulgogi recipe uses thinly sliced rib eye, sirloin, or flank steak marinated in a balanced blend of soy sauce, brown sugar, toasted sesame oil, and freshly grated Asian pear, which tenderizes and sweetens the meat. Garlic, ginger, gochujang sauce, and black pepper contribute pungency and spicy depth. The marinade needs at least one hour to infuse flavor and can be refrigerated up to 24 hours for more intensity.
The meat is cooked quickly over medium-high heat, either grilled or skillet fried, allowing for caramelization on the edges while keeping the interior tender. Topping with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions adds texture and a savory finish.
Beef Bulgogi is often served alongside rice or in lettuce wraps, making it versatile for meals that benefit from its balance of sweet, salty, and spicy elements.
