Instructions
Place the thinly sliced beef into a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated pear until well combined.
Add the sauce mixture to the beef, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Add the sliced onion, chopped green onions, and ground black pepper to the marinated beef.
