Level up your BBQ game with Korean Beef Bulgogi! So easy to make with a homemade marinade and turns up tender and full of flavor. Perfect with steamed rice!
In a food processor, process pear, onions, garlic, and ginger until pureed (the texture of applesauce).
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Stir until sugar and salt are dissolved. Add puree pear mixture, green onions, and sesame seeds. Stir until well-combined.
Add beef, massaging to fully incorporate marinade. Cover with film and marinate in the fridge for 4 hours but not more than 8 hours. Drain beef from marinade.
Over a tabletop grill pan, arrange beef slices in a single layer and cook for about 2 to 4 minutes on each side or until slightly charred and tender.
If using a skillet, add a tablespoon and heat over high heat. Add beef slices and cook, turning as needed, until tender and lightly browned. Serve hot.
Notes
If you need to slice the beef, freeze it for about 20 to 30 minutes until slightly frozen to make cutting easier and cut the meat across the grain for the tenderest chew.
