Ingredients
  

Bulgogi steak marinade

  • 1 ½ pounds skirt steak, thinly sliced across the grain (I recommend Grass Rooted Grass-Fed Beef)
  • 1 small pear, peeled
  • ½ red onion
  • 2 inch knob of ginger, peeled
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang fermented red pepper paste also known as red chili paste (or substitute sriracha)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Sweet and spicy red pepper aioli

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang fermented red pepper paste also known as red chili paste (or substitute sriracha)
  • ½ tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For serving

  • Steamed rice
  • Kimchi
  • Red cabbage, shredded
  • Cucumber, thinly sliced
  • Carrot, thinly sliced or shredded
  • Optional garnish: green onion and sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Grate the pear and onion using the large holes on a box grater, and grate the ginger using the small holes. Transfer to a medium bowl, and combine with the garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar and gochujang. Add the steak and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Meanwhile, make the sweet and spicy red pepper aioli. Mix together all the ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with vegetable oil. Once hot, remove the steak from the marinade and place in the skillet in a single layer. Let cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to brown and caramelize. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. If needed, work in batches and add more oil.
  • Serve the steak over a bed of rice with kimchi, vegetables, and a generous drizzle of sweet and spicy aioli. If desired, garnish with green onion and sesame seeds.
