Ingredients

  • 12 oz (350 g) bulgogi beef
  • 1 Asian pear
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • about 1/3 oz (10 g), 1-inch piece fresh ginger
  • 2 scallions
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 3/4 cup uncooked (150 g) white rice

How to make it, step by step

  1. Marinate the very thinly sliced beef with soy sauce, grated Asian pear, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar for 20 minutes.
  2. The pear acts as a natural tenderizer, adding sweetness and softening the meat.
  3. Heat a griddle or wok over very high heat and sear the marinated beef in short batches.
  4. Don't crowd the pan, so the meat browns instead of steaming.
  5. Meanwhile, cook the white rice in salted water. Serve the beef over the rice with chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds on top.
