Korean Barbecue Beef

Pear juice adds sweetness and helps to tenderize the beef in this bulgogi dish that is traditionally cooked over a grill.

Featuring USA Pears

	BBQ Beef
500 g	lean stir-fry beef, such as flank steak or sirloin cut across the grain, very thinly sliced
1	ripe Green Anjou or Bartlett USA Pear, peeled and cored
	cloves minced garlic
1 tsp	minced ginger
	chopped green onions
3 tbsp	soy sauce or tamari
1 tsp	brown sugar
2 tsp	toasted sesame oil
	Pinch freshly ground black pepper
	Garnish
2 tsp	toasted sesame seeds
2	sliced green onions

Step 1
Grate the pear in a large bowl or if it’s soft enough, mash it. Add the garlic, ginger, green onions, soy sauce, brown sugar, toasted sesame oil, and black pepper. Stir to combine and add the beef, coating it completely. Cover the bowl and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. Drain the beef from the marinade using a strainer or colander.
Step 2
Heat a large no-stick or cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until it is hot. Add enough beef to cover in one layer and stir fry, until the meat is completely cooked through, about 3 minutes; transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining beef.
Step 3
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
