Preparation

Step 1

Directions:
Start by blending the pear, onion, garlic, ginger, green onions together. You can use a blender, or a food processor. If you don’t have either, you could try using a fine grater and grate everything. Watch out for the onion, you’re going to need tissues.
After you have a nice pulp, add the soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, sugar, and salt. Wish until everything is incorporated. In a large container mix the sliced beef with the marinade. Make sure everything is covered. Place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Once 30 minutes has past you can start the cooking. Grab a nice skillet over high heat and add a little oil to it. Cook the spicy bulgogi until they have a nice caramelization. It’s a lot easier to cook these in batches.
Placed the cooked meat to the side to rest while we work on the mushrooms and onins. All you need to do is slice them up, and saute them over medium heat until they’re golden brown.
Now the assemble the sandwich. Grab the buns, add the meat, raw jalapenos, add the mushrooms and onions, some gochujang for more flavour, and the provolone cheese. Place it in the oven and broil for about 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has completely melted. Add some lettuce and kimchi to the sandwich and you’re done.
