Ingredients
Main
| Amount | Ingredient | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1.76 lbs | Rib Eye or Top Sirloin | or any tender prime beef cut - thinly sliced - 1/8 inch thickness |
| 1 | Onion | peeled & thinly sliced (optional) |
| 2 Stalks | Green Onion | thinly sliced (optional) |
| 1/2 | Carrot | peeled & thinly sliced (optional) |
| 1 T | Toasted Sesame Oil | |
| 1 T | Toasted Sesame Seeds | |
| 1 T | Cooking Oil |
Marinade
| Amount | Ingredient | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 6 T | Soy Sauce | |
| 3 T | Brown Sugar | |
| 2 T | Rice Wine (mirin) | |
| 1 | Red Apple or Asian Pear | ~155g/5.5 oz |
| 1/2 | Onion | ~80g/2.8oz |
| 1 T | Garlic | minced |
| 1 tsp | Ginger | minced |

Instructions
- Blend the marinade ingredients in a mixer or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
- Place the thinly sliced meat in a mixing bowl and pour the marinade over it.
- Mix them well together while gently massaging the meat with your hands. (Wearing a food prep glove is very handy here!)
- Add the sesame oil and mix it into the meat. (I prefer adding the sesame oil separately as opposed to mixing it in the marinade sauce. I read somewhere that the oil can prevent the other sauce getting absorbed effectively into the meat.)
- Cover the bowl with cling wrap (or move the marinated meat into a glass container with a lid) and marinate the meat for at least 4 hours in the fridge. (If you have more time, you can also marinate it overnight to deepen the flavour even more).
- Preheat a skillet / bbq grill on medium high heat until well heated.
- Add the cooking oil and spread it well.
- Add the meat (and optional vegetables) and cook it on medium high to high heat for 3 to 5 mins (until the meat and vegetables cook to your desired doneness).
- Toss in the sesame seeds and stir them quickly.
- Serve the bulgogi with steamed rice and other Korean side dishes. (refer above for more tips)
