Ingredients
- 2 pounds flank steak
- 1 cup finely grated Asian pear (about 1 pear)
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 cup sliced green onion , for garnish
Instructions
- Slace 2 pounds flank steak against the grain into thin strips. Cut it as thin as you can and place the strips in a mixing bowl or large plastic bag.
- Add in 1 cup finely grated Asian pear, 1/3 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 teaspoons oyster sauce, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Toss together until well coated. Let marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.
- After marinating, heat a large heavy skillet or wok over high heat. Use tongs to transfer the steak to the hot skillet. Cook on high, tossing frequently until cooked through, which will take about 3 to 5 minutes in a skillet. In a quality wok, this may take less than 2 minutes.
- Serve hot sprinkled with 1/2 cup sliced green onion.

Notes
- Meat Options: Instead of flank steak, you can also use skirt steak, ribeye, sirloin, or brisket. Even ground beef can be used for an inexpensive version.
- For ground beef, instead of marinating, simply make the marinade and keep it separate. Once your ground beef is cooked through, drain it well, then add in the marinade as a sauce to flavor the ground beef.
- Asian Pear: this is a traditional ingredient in Bulgogi. If you don't have one, have an allergy, or they are out of season, you can replace it with a shredded apple or 1/4 cup brown sugar.
