Hey everyone! If you're craving a savory, smoky dish with a spicy kick, this Tri-Tip Bulgogi is going to hit the spot! It's a fusion twist on the classic Korean dish, using tri-tip beef to make it extra juicy and flavorful. The marinade brings out the best in the beef, and the gochujang sauce adds that perfect blend of heat and umami. Trust me, this dish is going to be a new favorite in your home!

Ingredients:
Marinade:

• 1 pear, cut into chunks
• ½ onion, cut into chunks
• 1 thumb-sized piece fresh ginger, cut into chunks
• ½ cup soy sauce
• 2 garlic cloves

Bulgogi:

• 3 pounds beef tri-tip
• 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
• 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• ½ cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• ½ cup water
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 4 scallions, sliced
• 1 (8-ounce) package cooked microwave basmati rice
• Kimchi for serving
• Steamed vegetables for serving

Instructions:

1. In a blender or food processor, combine the pear, onion, ginger, soy sauce, and garlic cloves. Blend until smooth to create the marinade.
2. Place the tri-tip slices in a resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
3. Thinly slice the marinated tri-tip against the grain.
4. Heat grapeseed oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the beef slices until nicely charred, about 1 minute per side. Remove the meat from the skillet.
5. In the same skillet, add gochujang, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and water. Stir until smooth and simmer for 3 minutes.
6. Return the seared beef to the skillet and simmer in the sauce for 1-2 minutes, until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Remove the bulgogi from the heat and drizzle with sesame oil. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
8. Heat the basmati rice in the microwave according to package directions.
9. Serve the bulgogi with rice, kimchi, and steamed vegetables. Garnish with sliced scallions.
