INGREDIENTS
- 1.25 lb pre-sliced rib eye beef or sub with Top Sirloin, Tenderloin, or Flank steak and follow Step 1 to slice yourself
- 1.25 tablespoon vegetable oill or any neutral oil
- 1.25 green onion finely chopped for garnish
- 1.88 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish
Beef Marinade
- 1.56 cup Asian Pear peeled (or sub with a Bosc pear or any pear/apple)
- 0.63 cup onion peeled
- 3.75 cloves garlic peeled
- 0.31 cup regular soy sauce
- 2.5 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2.5 tablespoon mirin
- 2.5 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1.25 tablespoon honey
- 0.31 teaspoon black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- If you're using pre-sliced beef, skip this step. If you're using a whole steak, freeze it exposed to the cold air for 45-60 minutes and this will make it easier to thinly slice it. Use a sharp knife to slice the steak on an angle against the grain.
- Into a blender or food processor, add marinade ingredients as listed and blend on high until you have a smooth purée. (If you don’t have a blender, finely grate the onion and pear and mince the garlic with a knife. Then combine with other marinade ingredients in a medium bowl).
- In a large bowl, add thin slices of beef and pour the marinade over top. Gently mix until the marinade has thoroughly coated the meat - do not be rough or the beef can break apart. Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature. For best flavor, marinate for 1 hour or overnight, covered, in the fridge.
- Heat vegetable oil or any neutral oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Remove the marinated meat from the bowl and shake off excess marinade before frying in small batches in a single layer. Tip: Do not over crowd the pan.
- Cook beef through, about 3 minutes - stir frying as needed. If you prefer it more browned on the edges, cook for another 1-3 minutes on medium heat.
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Remove off heat and enjoy!
