Here is a very simple marinade for pork and beef bulgogi (Korean grilled marinated beef and pork). To make it quick and easy, I’m using a store-bought Korean BBQ sauce as a base.
To enhance the sauce, I add sesame oil and chopped green onions. The sesame oil adds an amazing toasted aroma, and the chopped green onions add freshness.
This is a great Korean product to use when you are in a rush and need something tasty.
The marinade has a sweet and fruity flavor, with crushed pears acting as a sweetener and natural meat tenderizer.
