For the best flavor, use Asian pear juice if available. Its subtle sweetness complements the savory flavors perfectly. Thinly slicing the beef is crucial for tenderness and quick cooking. If your butcher can't slice it thinly enough, partially freeze the beef before slicing it yourself. Don't overcrowd the grill! Cook the beef in batches to ensure even browning and prevent steaming. Serve Bulgogi with steamed rice, kimchi, and a variety of Korean side dishes (banchan) for a complete and authentic experience.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with pear juice, cooking wine, and black pepper. Gently toss to ensure the beef is evenly coated. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
02
StepIntroduce soy sauce, sesame oil, green onion, sugar, garlic, and sesame seeds to the marinated beef. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, creating a snug seal, and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.
03
StepPrepare your outdoor grill, preheating it to a medium-high heat. This ensures a perfect sear and even cooking.
04
StepRemove the beef from the marinade, gently shaking off any excess liquid. Discard the used marinade responsibly. Place a sheet of aluminum foil on the preheated grill. Arrange the beef slices in a single layer on the foil, avoiding overcrowding. On another section of the foil, add the halved mushrooms and chopped onion.
05
StepGrill the beef until it achieves a beautiful, even browning, approximately 3 to 5 minutes per side. Simultaneously, cook the mushrooms and onion until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Serve immediately, allowing the flavors to harmonize on the palate.
