Directions

Step

In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and grated pear (if using).

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Remove the marinated beef from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.

Grill the beef slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.

Step

Serve the Korean BBQ Beef Bulgogi with fresh lettuce leaves for wrapping and steamed rice on the side.

Tips for this recipe

For an authentic touch, grill the beef on a Korean barbecue grill or a cast-iron grill pan. Enhance the experience by adding dipping sauces like ssamjang (soybean paste) or gochujang (red chili paste). Customize your wraps with additional ingredients like garlic cloves, sliced chili peppers, or pickled radishes.
