Instructions

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, grated Asian pear, and minced garlic. Whisk together until the sugar is fully dissolved and the marinade is well blended.

2

Marinate the Beef

Add the thinly sliced beef ribeye to the marinade and toss to coat every piece evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.

3

Cook the Bulgogi

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated beef in a single layer for 2 to 3 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan.
