Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ribeye steak (or sirloin)
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tbsp grated Asian pear (or apple)
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
Place the ribeye steak in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up. This will make it easier to slice thinly.
After 15 minutes, remove the steak from the freezer. Using a sharp knife, slice the meat into thin strips, about 1/8 inch thick. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated Asian pear, and ground black pepper. Stir until the sugar dissolves to form the marinade.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the bowl, ensuring each piece is well coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
When ready to cook, heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, add the marinated beef slices in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned and caramelized. Remove the cooked beef and repeat with the remaining slices.
Transfer the cooked beef to a serving platter. Sprinkle with thinly sliced scallions and sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve hot with steamed rice, lettuce wraps, or mixed side dishes like kimchi and pickled vegetables.
