Ingredients
- 2 lb ribeye, very thinly sliced
- 1/2 Asian pear, peeled and grated
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 4 green onions, cut into 2 inch lengths
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- Lettuce leaves, for serving
- Steamed rice, for serving
Method
- Stir the pear, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and pepper together.
- Toss the beef, onion and green onions in the marinade and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 day.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat with a little oil.
- Sear the beef in batches in a single layer, turning once, until browned at the edges and it reaches 145°F, 2 to 3 minutes per batch.
- Let it rest 3 minutes, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with lettuce and rice for wrapping.
Notes
Partly freeze the ribeye for 30 minutes to slice it thin, or buy presliced bulgogi beef at a Korean market.
A tabletop grill turns this into a party for a crowd.
