Brown ground beef

In a bowl, whisk together pear, gochujang, sesame oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. You can do this first or ahead of time.

Pour sauce over beef

Pour the sauce over the beef, stir well, and simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened and caramelized slightly.

Serve over rice and add toppings

Serve over rice and top with green onions, sesame seeds, kimchi, pickled ginger, Korean carrot salad, and cucumbers. Feel free to swap toppings or serve a side salad.

I like it, if you can get your hands on an asian pear, go for it, but I would reduce how much you use of it since it's bigger. I used about 1/3 of one.

The pear changed the game for me when making bulgogi at home. After having it at restaurants and trying it myself, this recipe is my go-to. So easy and delicious.
