Sesame Beef Bulgogi Stir-fry

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
Bulgogi means 'fire meat'. The secret lies in the paper-thin sliced beef which becomes tender in the pear-soya marinade, then caramelises in seconds in the hot pan. The balance of sweet and salty flavours, along with the scent of sesame oil, makes it irresistible.

Instructions

1 ✓

Making the marinade: mix the soya sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic and grated pear.

Tip: If there is no Asian pear, ordinary pear is fine, or kiwi (but only marinate for 15 minutes with kiwi as it dissolves the meat).
2 ✓

Toss the meat in the marinade along with the sliced onion. Let stand for 30 minutes.

Tip: Since the meat is thin, the flavour penetrates quickly.
3 ✓

Heat a pan until smoking hot. Fry the meat in small batches, quickly.

Tip: If you put it all in at once, it releases liquid and will steam. The goal is caramelisation and smoky flavour.
4 ✓

Serve with rice, sprinkled with sesame seeds and spring onions.

Recipe FAQ

Why do I need pear in the marinade?
The enzymes of the Korean pear (or nashi) naturally tenderise the meat.
