Korean BBQ Beef Lettuce Wraps (Bulgogi)

Ingredients

• 1 lb Beef Sirloin (thinly sliced)
• 4 tablespoons Soy Sauce (low sodium)
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 1/2 medium Asian Pear (grated)
• 3 stalks Green Onions
• 1 head Bibb Lettuce Leaves
• 2 cups Cooked Rice (optional)

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, combine the 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 4 cloves of garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon of ginger (grated), and 1/2 medium Asian pear (grated). Stir everything together until well mixed.
2. 2Add the 1 lb of thinly sliced beef sirloin to the bowl with the marinade. Gently toss the beef to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or for up to overnight.
3. 3Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat. This is approximately 400-450°F (200-230°C).
4. 4Place the marinated beef slices onto the hot grill or grill pan in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side. The beef is cooked through when it is no longer pink and has developed a slightly caramelized, browned appearance. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
5. 5While the beef is grilling, prepare the garnishes. Chop the 3 stalks of green onions into small pieces.
6. 6Arrange the 1 head of Bibb lettuce leaves on a platter. Once the beef is grilled, place the cooked beef into the lettuce leaves. Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the beef.
7. 7If desired, serve the Korean BBQ Beef Lettuce Wraps with 2 cups of cooked rice on the side.
