Bulgogi marinade recipe
Created by The Tesco Recipes team
This Korean-inspired marinade works beautifully with steak. Once you've made the marinade, add thinly sliced meat so it soaks up the flavour quickly – the pear helps to tenderise the meat too. Marinating for 30 minutes is all you need to pack a punch, but don’t leave it longer than a couple of hours or the meat can turn mushy. This bulgogi sauce is the perfect base for easy weeknight dinners.
