Method3 steps

  1. Step 1: Mix the soy sauce (3 Tbsp), light brown sugar (2 Tbsp), honey (1 Tbsp), cooking wine, sesame oil (1 Tbsp), minced garlic (2 Tbsp), black pepper (1 tsp), toasted sesame seeds (2 tsp), chopped green onion (1 Tbsp) and pear purée (2 Tbsp) to make the marinade. Use the listed sugar, wine or purée substitutes if desired.

    Uses 3 Tbsp soy sauce · 2 Tbsp light brown sugar (or white sugar) · 1 Tbsp honey (or 2 tsp sugar) · 2 Tbsp rice cooking wine, red wine or mirin · 1 Tbsp sesame oil · 2 Tbsp minced garlic · 1 tsp ground black pepper · 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds

    A metal mixing bowl contains dark bulgogi marinade with chopped green onion, sesame seeds, and aromatics, with a utensil resting in it.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl large enough to hold the beef, mix the thinly sliced sirloin thoroughly with the marinade, gently massaging to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes; it can be prepared several hours ahead in the refrigerator.

    Raw thinly sliced beef is visibly coated in dark marinade with chopped green onion and aromatics in a mixing bowl.
  3. Step 3: Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat until the meat sizzles when added. Stir-fry the marinated beef until cooked and lightly browned on both sides. Cook in batches if needed to avoid crowding the pan.
