Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb thinly sliced beef sirloin, ribeye, or pre-sliced "bulgogi-cut" beef
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce low-sodium works, too
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger

  • 1/2 small onion thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Cooked white rice for serving
  • Optional toppings: shredded carrots cucumber slices, kimchi, fried egg

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and grated apple or pear in a large bowl. Add sliced beef and onions, toss until coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).
  • Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil, cook beef in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each batch for 2–3 minutes, stirring once or twice. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.
