Preparation time: 20 minutes
Marinating time: 1 hour
Cooking time: 10-15 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 35 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 600 g beef (preferably thigh or tenderloin)
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 piece of fresh ginger (about 2 cm), grated
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean spicy paste)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 pear (optional, for added sweetness)

Instructions:

1. Preparing the meat: Slice the beef into thin pieces, about 1 cm thick. This will allow for quick marinating and contribute to a tender texture when cooked.

2. Preparing the marinade: In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, chopped garlic, grated ginger, and gochujang paste. Mix well until the sugar completely dissolves. This delicious marinade will add a rich and complex flavor to the meat.

3. Marinating the meat: Add the slices of meat to the bowl with the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour. If you have time, marinating for 4-6 hours will intensify the flavors.

4. Preparing the pears (optional): If you want to add a sweet note to the dish, slice the pear and marinate it in the remaining marinade for 20 minutes. This will give it a pleasant flavor that contrasts perfectly with the saltiness of the meat.

5. Cooking the meat: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade and drain the excess. Place the slices of meat on the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side until they are crispy and have a nice brown color. If using pears, add them to the grill in the last 2-3 minutes to caramelize slightly.

6. Serving: Once the meat is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for an attractive presentation.

7. Serving suggestions: Korean-style grilled steak is often served with white rice or grilled vegetables. Offer kimchi salad or soy sauce on the side for a delicious contrast. For an authentic experience, try wrapping the slices of meat in lettuce leaves, adding a teaspoon of rice and a little gochujang paste.

Possible variations: You can experiment with different types of meat, such as pork or chicken, using the same marinade. Additionally, adding vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to the grill can enhance the flavor of the dish.

This is the perfect recipe for Korean-style grilled steak, which will turn any meal into a feast of flavors. Enjoy every bite and savor the unique flavors of this Korean delicacy!

Any steak recipe turns out delicious if you know the secret. For Korean-style grilled meat, you need to blend garlic, onion, kiwi, and ginger as if making a puree. Then, place them in a bowl where you add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Put the meat in a bowl with this marinade, cover the bowl, and let it sit in the fridge overnight. The next day, grill the meat. Since it was cold and snowy outside, I cooked the meat on aluminum grills in the oven, using the grill option (about 25-30 minutes). Serve with baked potatoes and pickled cabbage with peppers; it’s also very good with rice, vegetables, or mashed potatoes. Recipe proposed by KikenHana.
