Moose'S Close-Enough Bulgogi - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/2 onion, coarsely chopped
1/4 Asian pear, peeled and coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine
1 1/2 tablespoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound beef, sliced 1/4-inch thick

Preparation

Toast sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium heat until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
Combine onion, Asian pear, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and black pepper in a blender. Puree into a smooth marinade. Add sesame seeds; blend briefly on low just to mix them in.
Spread a thin layer of marinade in the bottom of a large container. Add a single layer of beef. Cover beef evenly with another thin layer of marinade. Repeat with remaining beef and marinade. Cover container and refrigerate until flavors combine, at least 3 hours and preferably overnight.
Heat a large grill pan or skillet over high heat. Add all the beef and marinade; cook, stirring constantly, until most of the marinade evaporates and the beef starts to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into a slice should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
