Ingredients

4 tablespoons soy sauce

1-2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean fermented chili paste)

2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 tablespoon honey (or use brown sugar)

1 teaspoon fresh chopped ginger

3 cloves garlic minced

2 green onions (minced)

1 Asian pear (peeled and minced (optional)

1 tablespoon red pepper flakes (Gochugaru - Korean red pepper flakes - preferred)

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 spicy red pepper minced (optional, for hotter bulgogi sauce)

1 ½ pounds ribeye steak, sliced thinly or cubed (You can use other cuts of beef. See recipe notes.)

FOR SERVING: Spicy red pepper flakes, sliced green onion, sliced hot peppers, toasted sesame seeds, hot sauce to taste

Directions

Make Marinade

Whisk all of the bulgogi sauce ingredients together in a large bowl. (If using Asian pear, use a blender to process all of the ingredients for a smoother marinade.)

Marinate Beef

Add the sliced ribeye steak and marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for more flavor development.

Cook Beef

Heat your grill, cast iron grill pan or wok to medium high heat with a lightly oiled surface. Grill or stir fry the beef for 5-6 minutes for medium-rare, stirring or flipping often, or longer until done to your liking.

Garnish with green onions, sliced peppers, red chili flake and toasted sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!
