Korean Beef Bulgogi

Bulgogi translates to "fire meat", and is a classic Korean dish that can often be found at a Korean BBQ with deliciously smokey char-grilled flavor. For many, it's possibly one of the first gateway dishes into Korean cuisine for reasons outside of its incredible flavor. It's simple to make, pairs well with just rice or lettuce, and stores well in the fridge, making it very versatile and a great addition for many meals!

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the thinly sliced beef and sliced yellow onion. Mix until well combined.
    • 1.50 lb beef, thinly sliced boneless ribeye (675 g)
    • 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced (300 g)
  • In a food processor or blender, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, honey, mirin, black pepper, Asian pear, yellow onion, garlic, and ginger. Process until smooth.
    • 1 asian pear, peeled and chopped (170 g)
      (helps tenderize the beef)
    • 1/2 yellow onion, quartered (150 g)
    • 5 clove garlic, roughly chopped (15 g)
    • 1 1/2 tsp ginger (4 g)
    • 1/4 tsp black pepper, ground (1 g)
    • 1/2 cup light soy sauce (60 g)
    • 2 tbsp light brown sugar (24 g)
    • 2 tbsp mirin (30 g)
    • 1 tbsp sesame oil (15 g)
    • 1 tbsp honey (20 g)
  • Pour the marinade over the beef and onions, then mix to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator. For the best results, marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
    • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the beef in portions and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until it's browned on both sides. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. Transfer the cooked beef to a serving plate and repeat with the remaining portions.
      • To serve, top with green onion and sesame seeds and serve with rice. Enjoy!
        • 2 stalk green onion, chopped (30 g)
        • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (12 g)
