How to make Bulgogi

Ingredients

• 500 g beef sirloin or rib-eye, sliced very thin (partly freezing it makes slicing easier)
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• Half an Asian pear or 1 ripe ordinary pear, grated
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 spring onions, sliced
• Black pepper and toasted sesame seeds
• Rice and lettuce leaves to serve

Method

1. Mix the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, grated pear and a little pepper in a bowl.
2. Add the beef and onion, mix well with your hands and leave in the fridge for 30 minutes.
3. Heat a large frying pan or grill pan until very hot and cook the beef in batches, spread out in one layer, for 2 to 3 minutes until browned and cooked through.
4. Sprinkle with spring onions and sesame seeds and serve with rice, or wrap bites in lettuce leaves.
