Ingredients
Beef
- 1 pound beef tenderloin or sirloin thinly sliced (¼ inch thick)
- ½ yellow onion (optional) thinly sliced
- ½ carrot (OPTIONAL) thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil (avocado or olive oil)
Bulgogi Marinade
- 1 small Asian pear or red apple, peeled and grated
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1½ tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Garnish
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Prep the Beef
- Wrap steak in plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Once firm but not frozen, unwrap and slice the steak against the grain into ¼-inch thick slices.
Make the Marinade
- In a medium bowl, combine the grated pear (or apple), minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, black pepper, and sesame oil.
Marinate the Beef
- Add the beef slices to a gallon-sized Ziploc bag, then pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and massage it to coat the beef evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight, turning the bag occasionally for even flavor.
Cook the Bulgogi
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, lay the beef in a single layer in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping once, until the beef is nicely charred and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining oil and beef.
Serve and Garnish
- Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
