A sizzling plate of Korean beef bulgogi with caramelized onions and sesame seeds.

Bulgogi, which literally means "fire meat," is a classic Korean barbecue dish that is beloved for its incredible flavor. It's made with thinly sliced, tender beef that is marinated in a sweet and savory sauce of soy sauce, pear, garlic, and sesame oil. The pear in the marinade is a traditional touch that not only adds a subtle sweetness but also helps to tenderize the meat. Bulgogi is typically cooked quickly on a grill or a hot skillet, resulting in meat that is both tender and slightly caramelized. It’s a fantastic dish for a quick weeknight dinner or as part of a larger Korean BBQ feast. Served with a bowl of steamed rice and some kimchi, it’s a meal that is sure to satisfy.
