Ingredients
- 450 grams beef ribeye or sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 large pear (grated)
- 2 stalks green onions (finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated pear, chopped green onions, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Add the thinly sliced beef to the bowl and mix well, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated with the marinade.
Step 3
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the pan is hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 6
Sear the beef for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
Step 7
Remove the cooked beef from the pan and repeat with remaining pieces, if needed.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked Bul Go Gi to a serving plate, garnish with sesame seeds if desired, and serve hot with steamed rice or lettuce wraps.
