Marinate beef in a savory blend of garlic, soy sauce, honey, and more. Grill until caramelized. Serve hot for a delightful Korean Sliced Barbecued Beef.
In a large bowl, mix together the garlic, soy sauce, sugar, honey, pear juice, mirin, sesame oil, scallions, and pepper and stir until the sugar and honey are dissolved.
Add the meat and toss to coat thoroughly with the sauce. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. For tougher cuts of meat, marinate the meat longer.
Grill (or broil or stir-fry) the beef until well done and caramelized on the outside, about 3 minutes per side.
Serve hot.

Notes
INGREDIENT TIP: Top sirloin or tenderloin work best, but almost any steak cut will do. The best quality meat will be more tender and will taste the best. INGREDIENT TIP: If you can, ask the butcher at the meat counter to slice the meat for you in very thin strips. Korean and/or Asian grocery stores will often have pre-sliced bulgogi meat for sale.INGREDIENT TIP: Asian pears are watery, so you can slice your pears into strips and even squeeze them between your hands to extract the juice. Or you can cut one up and squeeze it in a citrus press. SUBSTITUTION TIP: This is the most basic recipe. Add some carrots, onions, scallions, and bell peppers, if you wish, for some additional color and flavor.
