Instructions

  1. In a blender, toss together the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, gochujang (if using), garlic, kiwi, onion, sesame oil, & pepper.
  2. Transfer ingredients to an airtight container or Ziplock bag, then add in thinly sliced beef. Massage the marinade into the beef and allow it to marinate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight in the fridge.
  3. Heat a large pan or wok on medium-high heat. Add a little oil, then add bulgogi meat. Spread meat into a single layer along the pan and allow it to cook for 3-5 minutes, or until meat is cooked through & starting to caramelize, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat & serve it with rice and/or veggies & enjoy!

Notes

  • Easily slice beef thinly while it's still partially frozen & cut against the grain for extra tender cuts. Or, to save time, buy pre-cut thinly sliced beef at Asian or Korean markets labeled “shabu meat”, “hot Pot Meat, or “KBBQ Beef”.
  • Kiwi is VERY acidic, so
  • ½ kiwi is good for up to 3 pounds of meat. Don’t marinate longer than overnight, otherwise, meat will turn mushy. Asian pear is usually used for bulgogi marinade as a tenderizer, but it's not always available at Asian markets, so kiwi, pineapple, or apple are all great subs.
