Bulgogi Korean Barbecued Beef Lettuce Wraps

This dish is great for hot summer days. The crisp lettuce makes a nice wrapper, but doesn't leave you overstuffed like a starchy wrapper can

Heat a nonstick pan at medium-low for about 30 seconds.

Add sesame seeds and toast , shaking or stirring pan occasionally , until seeds are a nice golden brown , 2 to 3 minutes.

Set aside.

Combine soy sauce , sugar , garlic , green onions , ginger , sesame oil , and toasted sesame seeds.

Stir until the sugar has more or less dissolved.

Add meat , tossing to coat.

Marinate 30 minutes or up to overnight.

Grill meat on a rack over hot coals until beef firms up and slightly charred.

You want that nice glossy brown look , not the sweaty grayish look.

Serve with lettuce leaves and asian pear slices , allowing guests to roll wraps themselves.

To assemble , layer a lettuce leaf with a slice or two of grilled beef and a few thin asian pear slices , then roll up and enjoy !.
