Jeyuk means pork and bokkeum means stir-fry in Korean.

It can be grilled on a grill pan or stir-fried in a skillet.

Even if you arent hosting a Korean BBQ, jeyuk bokkeum is great as an easy weeknight meal.

It holds up to the strongly-flavored marinade, while the fat helps to keep everything juicy and tender.

Freeze the meat for about 30 minutes to make it easy to slice.

Its the perfect balance of spicy and sweet.

The Asian pear helps break down the meat and the gochujang gives it a deeply flavorful spice.

I like to use a mix of granulated sugar and honey for a savory sweetness.

Add Veggies

I add thinly sliced onions to the marinated pork.
