Why is bulgogi watery in the pan?

An overloaded pan and extra marinade can make the meat simmer in liquid. A larger cooking surface helps you control moisture.

What to try

  1. Cook smaller batches instead of adding the whole bowl at once.

  2. Lift the meat from excess marinade; add only what the recipe needs.

  3. Finish cooking the meat fully and avoid tasting marinade that has touched raw meat.

Make a small adjustment, then check the result before changing the whole batch.
