Preparation
- Pat the steak with paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. Transfer the steak to an airtight container.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the roughly chopped white onion, Asian pear, garlic, ginger, ½ cup brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper and blend until smooth.
- Pour the marinade over the beef. Add the thinly sliced white onion and roughly chopped green onions and mix well to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
- Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a Korean barbecue griddle or medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, add the bulgogi and cook for about 3 minutes, or until browned. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until browned on the other side.
- Transfer the bulgogi to a plate and top with the chopped green onion and toasted sesame seeds. Serve with rice.
- Enjoy!
