Marinated Grilled Thinly Sliced Beef

Prepare the beef: If your beef is not already thinly sliced, carefully slice it against the grain into very thin pieces, about 2-3 mm thick. Pat dry with paper towels.

Make the marinade: In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, black pepper, grated Asian pear (or apple juice), and thinly sliced yellow onion. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

Marinate the beef: Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

Preheat grill: Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.

Grill the beef: Cook the marinated beef in a single layer, without overcrowding the grill, for 2-3 minutes per side, or until beautifully caramelized and cooked through. The thin slices cook very quickly.

Serve: Transfer the cooked Bulgogi to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh chopped green onions. Serve immediately with rice and banchan (Korean side dishes).
