Petunjuk

Marinade

Blend the Asian pear, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame seed oil, and gochujang in a food processor or a blender until a paste forms.

Salt and pepper the beef and place in a gallon ziploc bag with the yellow onion. Do not put in the neutral oil at this point as it will be used for cooking.

Pour the marinade into the ziploc bag with the beef, making sure to coat all the pieces, and marinate overnight.

Cook the beef

Remove the beef from the fridge and let it come to room temperature for 1 hour.

Heat a large skillet over high heat until smoking then pour in 1 teaspoon of neutral oil. Using tongs, remove the beef from the bag and place into the pan without crowding it. You may need to cook the beef in batches.

Leave the beef without disturbing it for 30 seconds to 1 minute to char the meat. Flip the beef and char as best you can on the other side. The beef should cook very quickly so try not to leave it in the pan too long. You are welcome to even leave some pink if you like your steak medium or medium rare, but at least get some char on it.

Serve

Serve immediately and garnish with green onion and sesame seeds. I recommend serving the beef over bowls of hot rice and accompanied with kimchi or any of your favourite Korean sides. If using the lettuce, place a spoonful of the rice, beef, and kimchi in a leaf and enjoy!
