In a large deep skillet over medium heat, sauté garlic in sesame oil for a few minutes and add the thin slices of beef, browning briefly. Combine Soy Sauce and sugar in a mixing bowl, stirring to slightly dissolve the sugar. Add to the skillet and continue to cook. Reduce heat slightly and add sliced onions, carrots, mushrooms, green pepper, and kiwi fruit; continue to cook, stirring occasionally. Cover and continue to cook to desired degree of doneness. Just prior to serving, add the sesame seeds and serve. Best served with plain rice. Serves 5

Tabasco; to taste
Salt; to taste
1 Garlic clove; crushed
1 ts Sesame seed, toasted*
1 ts Scallion; minced
1 tb Oil

* Toasted sesame seed: Place 1 cup sesame seed and 1 teaspoon salt in a skillet, brown seeds slowly until they are toast-colored and puffed. Stir constantly while toasting. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Pulverize seeds in a mortar or a blender. Store in a tightly capped bottle. Cut beef into very thin strips and pound to flatten; then cut into medium size squares. Combine all the other ingredients. The marinade, as the name of the dish implies, should be quite fiery. Mix meat and marinade and set aside for 4 to 5 hours, or longer if refrigerated. Broil very quickly over hot charcoal, dip in Bulgogi sauce and serve immediately with white rice.
