The BEST Bulgogi Recipe You’ll EVER Taste! | Easy Korean BBQ at Home

Cut rib eye into thin slices, preferably thinner than what you find at the store for a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Mix until the sugar is dissolved.

Roughly chop 1/3 cup of onion and peel a Korean pear. Use about 70g of Korean pear.

Chop additional onions (about 50g) and scallions (1-2) for garnish later.

In a blender, combine 1/3 cup of onion, 1/3 cup of Korean pear, 1/3 cup of water, and 1/2 tablespoon of garlic. Blend until smooth.

Add the blended mixture to the marinade. Then add 3 tablespoons of mirin or sake, 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and some black pepper. Mix well.

Marinate the thinly sliced rib eye in the sauce for at least 30 minutes, preferably 24 hours for best flavor.

After marinating, heat oil in a pan over medium to low heat. Add the marinated meat and cook until about 70-80% done.

Add the chopped onions and scallions to the pan, along with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, and finish cooking.

Serve the bulgogi with sesame seeds on top.
