Description

A sweet and savory Korean dish featuring tender beef marinated in flavorful spices, perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ribeye steak (sliced thinly)
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil (or olive oil)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (minced)
  • 1 medium Asian pear (or apple, grated)
  • 2 tablespoons mirin (or rice vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (or sriracha)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 stalks green onions (sliced, for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (toasted, for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons honey butter (or regular butter)

Instructions

  1. Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, grated pear, mirin, gochujang, and black pepper together to create the marinade.
  2. Add the ribeye steak to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated beef in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary.
  4. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes or until fully cooked and caramelized.
  5. Remove from heat and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
  6. Drizzle honey butter over the top before serving.

Notes

Slice the beef against the grain for tenderness. Use a mandoline for finely shredding the pear. Adjust sweetness by modifying sugar amounts. Marinate longer for deeper flavor.
