Bulgogi

Bulgogi is Korean marinated beef cooked in thin slices, often grilled or pan-fried. Maangchi’s recipe uses a marinade of crushed Korean pear, onion, garlic, ginger, scallion, soy sauce, sugar and toasted sesame oil, with black pepper and a few carrot slices. The meat is sliced across the grain before being mixed with the marinade. Pear gives the seasoning a fruity sweetness.^[1]

Charcoal grilling is the method Maangchi favours, although her instructions also allow a grill pan, skillet or stir-frying. At the table, the beef can be eaten with side dishes, or wrapped in lettuce with ssamjang and garlic.^[1]
