Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef ribeye or sirloin
- 1/3 cup gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons pureed ripe pear
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 4 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 medium white onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil (such as grapeseed or vegetable)
Instructions
Freeze the beef for about 30 minutes until it firms up slightly. This helps with slicing thinly.
Once firm, slice the beef across the grain into very thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, brown sugar, pureed pear, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.
Add the sliced beef to the marinade and toss to coat all the pieces evenly.
Mix in the sliced green onions and white onion into the marinated beef.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
When ready to cook, heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or grill pan over high heat.
Add the marinated beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly charred and cooked through.
Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Serve warm with steamed rice, lettuce wraps, or alongside kimchi for a full Korean meal experience.
