Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 60 ml Tamari soy sauce (gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.5 whole Asian pear, grated
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the tamari soy sauce, brown sugar, grated Asian pear, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, chopped green onions, and ground black pepper. Stir the ingredients together until the sugar is fully dissolved in the liquid.

Step 2

Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the marinade, ensuring that every piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for the best flavor.

Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the marinated beef slices to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until the beef is browned and cooked through.

Step 5

Remove the beef from the pan and repeat the process until all the beef is cooked. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan, as this might steam rather than sear the meat.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked bulgogi beef to a serving plate, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, and serve immediately.

Step 7

This bulgogi can be enjoyed with a side of steamed rice, lettuce leaves for wrapping, or your choice of Korean side dishes.
