Bulgogi Marinade
Sweet and easy to make, this Bulgogi Marinade recipe is perfect for marinating beef, chicken, or pork. It takes just a minute to whip up using simple ingredients!
Equipment
- 1 bowl for mixing marinade
Ingredients
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup or equal parts brown sugar or honey
- 2 Tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 pear peeled and grated
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 Tablespoon garlic minced or smashed, approx. 2 cloves
Instructions
- In a bowl or dish large enough to fit the meat you plan on marinating, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, grated pear, green onions, and garlic.¼ cup soy sauce, 2 Tablespoons maple syrup, 2 Tablespoons sesame oil, 1 pear, 2 green onions, 1 Tablespoon garlic
- Add meat to the marinade and marinate for at least 2 hours, up to overnight. Don't marinate for longer than 2 days.
Notes
- The meat you're marinating will work best when sliced into bite-size pieces with fat trimmed away, especially if you're using steak. For pork chops marinated in bulgogi sauce, I'll leave them whole.
- If you don't want to cut the meat before cooking, you can either buy it pre-sliced or ask your butcher to slice it for you.
- Make sure to really cover it with the bulgogi marinade for best results. You want the meat to soak up all the flavors of the marinade!
- You can use the marinade to cook a sauce if you save it after marinating. Add it to a skillet over medium-high heat with your protein and reduce it down into a sticky, sweet bulgogi sauce to coat the meat.
