Beef Bulgogi

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ribeye or sirloin, thinly sliced across the grain

  • 1/4 small onion, sliced super thin

  • 2 green onions, chopped (separate white + green)

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tbsp grated pear or apple (adds that signature sweetness + tenderizes)

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (or honey)

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 1 tsp gochujang (optional but adds depth)

  • Black pepper

  • Neutral oil for cooking

  • Sesame seeds (for topping)

  • Cooked white rice, for serving

Step by step:

  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, grated pear or apple, gochujang, and a pinch of black pepper.

  2. Add beef + thin onion slices. Let it sit 20 mins (or up to 24 hrs in the fridge if you’re planning ahead).

  3. Heat a pan over medium-high with a splash of oil. Add marinated beef (in batches if needed for a good sear). Stir-fry until caramelized and cooked through—about 2–3 minutes.

  4. Finish with green onion tops + sesame seeds

  5. Serve over hot rice. Add kimchi, sliced green onion, and seaweed salad ! ENJOY!
