Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb rib-eye steak (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp ginger (grated)
- 0.5 fruit Asian pear (grated, or substitute with 1/4 cup apple juice)
- 4 stalks green onions (sliced thinly, white and green parts separated)
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for grilling)
Instructions
Place the thinly sliced rib-eye steak in a mixing bowl or zip-top plastic bag.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, grated Asian pear (or apple juice), sliced white parts of green onions, and ground black pepper. Mix well until the sugar dissolves to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring all slices are evenly coated. Gently massage the marinade into the meat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the bag, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2-4 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the beef from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Place the beef slices on the hot grill in a single layer, working in batches if necessary.
Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until the beef is browned and caramelized. Avoid overcooking to retain the tender texture.
Transfer the cooked beef to a serving plate. Garnish with sliced green parts of the green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with steamed rice, lettuce wraps, or as part of a Korean-style barbecue meal. Enjoy!
