Enjoy a delectable medley of flavors with this Savory Sweet Bulgogi Delight recipe, which combines juicy meat with a hot, sweet, and salty marinade. The key is to thinly slice the meat, allowing it to quickly absorb the mouthwatering marinade.
Combine grated pear, grated garlic, soy sauce, gochugaru, grated ginger, brown sugar, and sesame oil in a large resealable plastic bag or medium bowl.
2
Using a sharp knife, slice the boneless pork loin into very thin strips.
3
Add the meat to the marinade, seal the bag or cover the bowl, and ensure that the meat is fully coated. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
4
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Remove half of the marinated meat, allowing excess marinade to drip back into the bag or bowl, then lightly season the meat with kosher salt.
5
Arrange the meat in a single layer in the skillet, and let it cook without stirring for 1 minute, until lightly browned.
6
Toss the meat and continue cooking, occasionally stirring, for an additional 3 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and crisp at the edges. Transfer the cooked meat to a plate.
7
Repeat the process with the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and marinated meat, adding more salt as needed.
8
Serve the bulgogi, topped with sliced scallions as a garnish.
