Beef Bulgogi

I love Bulgogi. It’s one of the easiest Asian stir-fry style recipes out there and this particular marinade packs a punch of flavor I can’t help but crave. I have a recipe for Chicken Bulgogi from ages ago, and it was well past time I break into the beef space. If you can’t find Asian pear (also known as apple pear), you can use another type of pear instead or simply substitute a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. Sometimes I’ll make that substitution even when my grocery store has Asian pears in stock just to save the trouble of grating it if I’m having a particularly low energy moment!
