Bulgogi, meaning "fire meat" in Korean, is one of Korea's most beloved dishes featuring thin-sliced beef marinated in a sweet-savory mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and Asian pear. Sous vide makes this classic even better by infusing the marinade deep into the meat while keeping it incredibly tender. A quick sear adds the characteristic caramelized edges.
