Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin cut into thin pieces
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger peeled and grated, about 1 inch piece
- ¼ cup soy sauce low sodium
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- ½ medium pear grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for cooking meat
- 2 green onions chopped for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl add the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, chili flakes, pear, sesame oil and brown sugar. Whisk everything together well.
- Pour the marinade over the pork, close the ziploc bag and shake it around a bit to make sure that the all the pork meat is covered in the marinade. Let it marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil to a large skillet and heat it over medium high heat. Add half of the meat to the skillet and arrange it so that it's in a single layer. Cook it for about 3 minutes without touching the meat, or until the meat starts to brown, almost char, then turn it and cook for another 2 or so minutes until it's browned on both sides. Remove the meat from the skillet to a bowl and set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil and remaining meat along with remaining marinade. Repeat cooking the same as above.
- Serve over cooked rice or noodles and garnish with chopped green onions.

Notes
- Easy Slicing: Place the tenderloin in the freezer for 10 minutes if you're having trouble getting thin slices.
- Marinating Time: For best results, let the pork marinate for at least 30 minutes, but if you have time, letting it soak up those flavors for up to 8 hours is ideal.
- Heat Level: Adjust the red chili flakes to your preference – more for a spicier kick, less for a milder flavor.
- Pear Substitute: If you don't have a pear on hand, you can substitute with a sweet apple, which also tenderizes the meat and adds sweetness.
- Serving Suggestions: This Pork Bulgogi shines when served over steamed rice or noodles, but it's also fantastic in lettuce wraps for a lower-carb option.
- Nutritional information does not include rice.
