Thinly slice 500 grams of beef sirloin against the grain into bite-sized pieces. Set aside in a medium bowl.
In a blender or food processor, add 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon granulated erythritol, 3 large garlic cloves, 0.5 large pear (peeled and cored), and 2 tablespoons sesame oil. Blend until a smooth marinade forms.
Pour the marinade over the sliced beef. Add 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper and mix well, ensuring the beef is thoroughly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the beef is marinating, thinly slice 2 green onions and prepare 8 large romaine lettuce leaves by rinsing them and patting dry with a towel.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer, without overcrowding the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and caramelized to your preference.
Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Repeat with any remaining beef slices if necessary.
Serve the Bulgogi by placing the cooked beef onto the large romaine lettuce leaves, and garnish with sliced green onions, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, and optional sliced red chili for extra heat.
Roll up the lettuce leaves to form wraps and enjoy your succulent Low Carb Korean BBQ Beef (Bulgogi)!
