Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds beef top sirloin thinly sliced

2 tablespoons white cooking wine

1 cup pear juice

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon white sugar

2 tablespoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil

1 tablespoon minced garlic

2 tablespoons chopped green onion

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1/2 pound fresh mushrooms halved (optional)

1/2 onion chopped (optional)

lettuce for wrapping


Directions

Place the beef in a bowl, and pour in the cooking wine, pear juice, and black pepper. Stir to combine, and allow to marinate for 30 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, green onion, and sesame seeds, and marinate in refrigerator at least 2 hours or overnight. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade, and discard the marinade. Place a sheet of aluminum foil on the heated grill, and lay the beef slices separately on the foil. Place the mushrooms and onion on another part of the foil. Cook the beef slices until they are evenly brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve with cooked mushrooms and onion with rice, or for even more authenticity, wrap it all up in a large lettuce leaf.

Hands down terrific for something so easy to make, much better for u than fast food, gotta say. Plenty flavorsome too, no lie it was gobbled up right quick by us. Def a favorite.

What a great recipe! The kids were wild about it and we all had fun eating these "wraps". The combo of savory marinated meat wrapped in crunchy lettuce leaves was perfect! So easy to whip up I will be serving this often. Delicious!

Very good, seemed as though the flavors didn't translate as well as I'd like, especially the pear, could've been the wine i was drinking with dinner. I'd make this again for sure and maybe have a light beer instead!!! Easy and quick.

Pretty good recipe but something is missing. Also, Bulgogi is traditionally served with lettuce so that's what I did. ps. It seem like you review your own items with a different login... not sure that's fair!
