Bulgogi Steak (homemade sauce)

Ingredients

Meat 1 lb flank steak

1 tbsp olive oil

1 cup green onion

1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Marinade:

1/8 cup reduced sodium soy sauce

1.5 tbsp light brown sugar

1 tbsp sesame oil

3 cloves freshly minced garlic

1/2 tbsp freshly grated ginger

1/4 cup Asian pear, grated

1/8 tsp red pepper flakes

Directions

Slice the flank stead across the grain into 1/4 inch slices.

In a freezer Ziploc bag combine all the marinade ingredients, add the steak slices and marinate for 2-3 hours or overnight. Turn the bad occasionally for optimal flavors.

Preheat a pan over medium-high heat and then add 1 tbsp olive oil or less.

Once hot add meat into the pan and cook until charred, 2-3 minutes per side. Minimize stirring and cover to prevent drying out steak.

Garnish with green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

Serve over rice/quinoa mixture with steamed snow peas or in a tortilla to make a taco.

Toasting sesame seeds don't take long, put into a pan with a spray of oil until they are golden brown, stir occasionally.
