Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Beef ribeye or sirloin, thinly sliced
- 6 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Ginger, minced
- 1 small Asian pear or apple, grated
- 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
Place the thinly sliced beef in a large mixing bowl or resealable plastic bag.
In a separate bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, grated Asian pear or apple, green onions, ground black pepper, and sesame seeds to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight for the best flavor.
When ready to cook, heat a large skillet, grill pan, or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil if using a skillet or grill pan.
Cook the marinated beef in batches to avoid overcrowding. Grill or stir-fry each piece for 2-3 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
Serve hot with steamed rice, lettuce wraps, or as part of a Korean BBQ spread. Garnish with additional sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
