Bulgogi

Ingredients

600g beef sirloin 1/2 Asian pear 1/2 onion 5 garlic cloves 1-inch ginger 1/2 cup soy sauce 3 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp sesame oil 1 tbsp sesame seeds black pepper scallions

Detail Steps and Procedure

Prepare Beef (Time: 0-40 minutes): Partially freeze 600g beef sirloin or ribeye for 30-40 minutes until firm but not solid. Slice against grain into paper-thin slices (?-inch thick). Place in large bowl. Make Marinade (Time: 40-50 minutes): Blend 1/2 Asian pear (peeled, cored), 1/2 onion, 5 garlic cloves, 1-inch ginger until completely smooth. In bowl, combine pear puree with 1/2 cup soy sauce, 3 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp black pepper. Whisk until sugar dissolves. Marinate (Time: 50 minutes + 2 hours): Pour marinade over beef. Mix thoroughly with hands until all slices are coated. Cover, refrigerate minimum 2 hours, preferably overnight (up to 24 hours). Cook (Time: 2 hours 0-15 minutes): Heat large skillet, grill pan, or outdoor grill to high heat. Cook in batches without overcrowding: 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through. Do not overcook or beef will become tough. Garnish and Serve (Time: 2 hours 15-20 minutes): Sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions. Serve immediately with steamed rice, lettuce leaves (for wrapping), and side dishes.
