bulgogi
Marinated grilled beef
Bulgogi is a Korean dish of thin-sliced beef marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and pear or apple juice, then grilled or pan-fried.
The sweet-savory marinade caramelizes during cooking.
Bulgogi is typically served with rice and wrapped in lettuce leaves: We ordered bulgogi and shared it family-style.
