How to Make Aunt Claire's Pul Gol Gi Bul Gogi

  1. Freeze sirloin for one hour to make slicing easier.
  2. Slice the beef thinly, aiming for 1/8 inch thickness.
  3. Toast 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds in an ungreased pan at 350°F (175°C) for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant.
  4. In a large bowl or container with a tight-fitting lid, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 1 cup Korean pear juice, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup beer, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  5. Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated.
  6. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours, turning occasionally to ensure even flavor distribution.
  7. Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat. Grill or broil the beef for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
