1

Start by making a homemade rice wine gochugaru vinaigrette: Combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons coarsely ground gochugaru pepper, 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seed oil, 2 teaspoons honey, and 4 cloves of finely minced garlic in a bowl. Whisk together and add 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds. Adjust thickness with more rice wine vinegar if necessary. Refrigerate the vinaigrette.

2

Prepare a ranch dressing: In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, and 1/4 cup buttermilk. Add 1 teaspoon dried dill seed, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder. Whisk until combined, then fold in 1 tablespoon freshly chopped dill and 1 tablespoon freshly chopped Korean chive. Refrigerate the ranch dressing.

3

Make the bulgogi marinade: Combine 1/2 cup pureed Korean pear, 1/4 cup pureed onion, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon freshly minced ginger, 1 chopped green onion, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon roasted sesame seed oil, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/2 cup pineapple juice, and 1/2 cup red wine in a bowl. Whisk together and coat the USDA prime sliced ribeye in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

4

Heat a flat top griddle to medium-high heat and add some Wagyu beef tallow.

5

Remove the ribeye from the marinade and place it on the griddle. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

6

Prepare the Dutch Crunch rolls by hollowing out the top part of the bread.

7

Layer the bottom part of the sandwich with ranch dressing, chopped green onion, and finely chopped iceberg lettuce.

Add the cooked bulgogi beef to the sandwich, followed by fresh mozzarella cheese. Place under an infrared broiler to melt the cheese.
