Grilled bulgogi: Korea's irresistible mix of beefy, savory, and sweet flavors, perfect for a delicious charred finish on a grill pan.
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 Asian pear, peeled and grated
  • 2 tablespoons mirin, rice wine, or dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 pounds ribeye, sliced 1/8 inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • Cooked rice, to serve, optional
Instructions:
  • Prepare the marinade in a medium bowl by combining soy sauce, grated pear, mirin, sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well until the sugar dissolves.
  • Coat the beef in the marinade, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Alternatively, transfer the marinated beef to a zip-top bag and freeze for future use.
  • Prepare the bulgogi: Heat canola oil in a large cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat until the pan is hot. Arrange the bulgogi in a single layer, ensuring no overlap to achieve a nice char without steaming. Cook in batches if necessary, 2 to 3 minutes per side until lightly charred and cooked through.
  • Serve the bulgogi on a platter or straight from the pan. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy hot with rice on the side. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you loved the recipe, please leave a star rating below!
