Bulgogi

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup soy sauce

• 3/4 cup brown sugar

• 5 cloves garlic crushed

• 1 inch piece of fresh ginger grated on a microplane

• 1 tbsp sesame oil

• 3/4 cup apple or pear juice

• 2-3 green onions - finely chopped

• 1 teaspoon pepper

• 1 pound beef, thinly sliced

• condiments such as kimchi, chopped green onions, carrots, cucumbers, hot chili pepper(see below)

Preparation

Mix the soy, brown sugar and apple or pear juice in a small sauce pan. Warm over low heat until the sugar melts. Allow to cool and stir in the remaining ingredients.

Mix the marinade into meat, making sure all the meat is covered.

Cover and refrigerate the beef overnight.

Once the meat has been refrigerated, we like to grill it, broil it, or stir-fry the beef until it is well-done and caramelized on the outside.

Serve the beef with rice, additional chopped scallions, and side dishes such as kimchi. Carrots peeled and julienne cut (or shredded) and seeded cucumber, cut in 1in sticks- soaked in apple cider vinegar for at least 2 hours, then drained. Hot pepper sliced into small pieces
