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)

Instructions
- Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, grated pear, mirin, gochujang, and black pepper together to create the marinade.

- Remove from heat and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
- 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.
