In Korea, we love to grill (or fry) and eat marinated meat (beef, pork, or chicken). There are 2 main flavors for marinated meat. One is a spicy, which uses mainly red pepper paste. The other one is sweet & salty, which uses mainly soy sauce and pear (honey, sugar, apple, kiwi and so on) for the sauce. Many restaurants have indoor grilling at each table so that customers can grill their meats at the table by themselves and enjoy the fresh cooked flavor. Today, I will show you a very popular marinated meat dish called GalBi in Korean. It takes time to marinate the meat, but otherwise, it is very simple and easy to make. You can freeze some of the marinated meat to grill at a later time. Enjoy~~

In Korea, we use some fruits for cooking such as the Asian pear, apple, kiwi, and so on. Pears are especially good for marinating meat such as BulGoGi, since it gives a naturally sweet flavor, and makes the meat tender.
