Instructions

  1. 1

    Freeze the beef for 30 minutes, then slice it as thinly as possible against the grain.

  2. 2

    Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, grated pear, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Toss the beef in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally a few hours.

  4. 4

    Heat a large skillet or grill pan over high heat until very hot.

  5. 5

    Add the beef in a single layer and sear quickly, working in batches so it caramelizes rather than steams.

  6. 6

    Stir in most of the green onions during the last minute of cooking.

  7. 7

    Serve hot, topped with sesame seeds and the remaining green onions, alongside steamed rice.
