Nguyên liệu

½ onion

3 green onions/scallions

4 inches carrot

1½ lb thinly sliced beef (chuck or ribeye) (or use tenderloin or top sirloin; if you can’t find thinly sliced beef, see how to thinly slice meat at home)

1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil

½ Tbsp toasted white sesame seeds (for the garnish)

4 Tbsp Korean soy sauce

2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil

3 Tbsp brown sugar (don’t substitute with honey as it burns easily)

8 cloves garlic (4 tsp, minced) 4

½ Asian pear (4 Tbsp, grated; or substitute with Fuji apple, kiwi, or fresh (not canned) pineapple) 4

freshly ground black pepper

Hướng dẫn

Gather all the ingredients.

Make the bulgogi marinade. To a large bowl, add 4 Tbsp Korean soy sauce, 2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil, 3 Tbsp brown sugar, and 8 cloves garlic (crushed or minced).

Grate ½ Asian pear into the bowl.

Add freshly ground black pepper and mix it all together.

Cut ½ onion into thin slices. Cut 3 green onions/scallions into 2-inch (5-cm) pieces and then cut in half lengthwise.

Using a peeler, peel 4 inches carrot into thin ribbons or strips (or slice thinly). Add the onion, green onions, and carrot to the marinade, and mix all together.

Add 1½ lb thinly sliced beef (chuck or ribeye) to the marinade, separating each slice. Mix it all together to coat with the marinade. I wear plastic gloves and mix thoroughly by hand.

Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight (recommended).

To Cook

Heat a large skillet (I use a cast iron grill pan here) over medium-high eat. When it‘s hot, add 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil.

Add the marinated beef in a single layer. Grill until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the meat to a plate and sprinkle with ½ Tbsp toasted white sesame seeds.

To Serve

If you have a single-serving cast iron plate, you can use it to keep the meat warm for a longer time. Enjoy!

To Store

You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to a month.
