Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef sirloin thinly sliced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach washed
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted

Bulgogi Marinade

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 2 tablespoons pear grated

Instructions

  1. 1 In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground black pepper, and grated pear to create the marinade.
  2. 2 Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade and mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  3. 3 Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef slices in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
  4. 4 While the beef is cooking, prepare the sesame spinach. In a separate pan, heat sesame oil over medium heat.
  5. 5 Add the fresh spinach to the pan and sauté for about 2 minutes until wilted. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and stir to combine.
  6. 6 Serve the cooked beef hot with a side of sesame spinach. Garnish with additional sesame seeds if desired.
