Bulgogi or marinated beef is one of the most popular Korean dishes. To make it, you need to marinate thinly sliced beef with a seasoning sauce and then grill it. The original form of the dish can be found in neobiani (너비아니).

The word neobiani means "thinly sliced meat." This dish also requires grilling and marinating thinly sliced meat with a seasoning sauce made from soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, sesame salt, green onion and garlic. The meat becomes tender as it is minced many times.





**Ingredients
600 grams of beef (sirloin),
70 grams of pear juice or 140 grams of pear slices

Seasoning sauce:
54 grams (3 tbsp) of soy sauce,
18 grams (1½ tbsp) of sugar
19 grams (1 tbsp) of honey
28 grams (2 tbsp) of minced green onion
16 grams (1 tbsp) of minced garlic
16 grams (1 tbsp) of ginger juice
6 grams (1 tbsp) of sesame salt
0.5 gram (1/5 tsp) of ground black pepper
19.5 grams (1½ tbsp) of sesame oil
2 grams (1 tsp) pine nuts powder
3.5 grams (1 tbsp) of pine nuts
13 grams (1 tbsp) of cooking oil

** Preparation
1. Clean the blood off the beef with a cotton cloth. Remove any fat or tendons. Cut into 5-centimeter wide, 7-centimeter long and 0.3-0.5-centimeter thick pieces, cutting opposite to the direction of the texture. Slightly chop it all and marinate it in pear juice for 10 minutes.
2. Prepare the seasoning sauce.
3. Remove the tops of the pine nuts. Wipe the pine nuts with a dry cotton cloth. Pound them until you make a fine pine nut powder.





** Recipe
1. Add the seasoning sauce to the beef. Mix it thoroughly until the seasoning sauce permeates evenly into the beef. Let it sit for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat the grill and oil. Put the beef piece-by-piece onto the grill and cook it for about 3 minutes on the front and 2 minutes on the back, about 15 centimeters above the flame. Make sure it doesn't burn.

3. Sprinkle the pine nut powder overtop before serving.
