Beef Bulgogi

Without a doubt, the Beef Bulgogi is one of the most popular and oldest Korean traditional foods. The secret to this dish lies in the cut of the beef -make sure to get a cut that has a good amount of marbling, sliced thinly, and you’re almost guaranteed a dish that melts in your mouth. The sauce is a burst of umami made from a blend of sauces and oil, ginger, garlic and, the Asian pear! Best served wrapped in a cold crispy piece of lettuce or a bowl of steamed rice.
