Thin-sliced ribeye soaks up a marinade built from grated Asian pear, garlic, ginger, and a touch of brown sugar, tenderizing the meat while adding that deep sweet-savory backbone bulgogi is known for. A hot skillet does the real work here, charring the edges and caramelizing the sugars in just a couple of minutes per batch so you get those signature crisp, lacy bits alongside juicy, tender beef. Scallions cook right alongside the meat, going soft and slightly blistered, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds adds a final nutty crunch before it all lands over steamed white rice. It's a fast, high-heat dinner that comes together in under an hour once the beef has had its time to marinate. This version is a great fit for a gluten free table, letting you enjoy the same smoky, caramelized flavor without any second-guessing.
