Korean Beef (Bulgogi) Lettuce Wraps are unbelievably delicious. The bulgogi is the Korean BBQ beef, and it's over the top good. Add julienne carrots and cucumber, and some sliced pepper, topped with Korean sauce, all in a lettuce wrap, and the flavor profile is through the roof good!!
Wrap the meat in plastic wrap and place in freezer for 30 minutes.
Mix the garlic, pear, onion, ginger, green onion, soy, oil, brown sugar, honey, pepper and sesame seeds in a medium bowl.
Remove the meat from the freezer, and using a sharp knife, cutting against the grain, slice into thin pieces.
Place the sliced beef in a large freezer plastic bag, and then add the marinade. Seal, and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour or overnight, up to 24 hours.
Using a large skillet, such as cast iron, heat over high heat.
Add the meat to the skillet and cook until browned and much of the liquid has evaporated. About 4 to 5 minutes. (It's okay for some of the marinade to go into the skillet with the meat).
Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds.
