Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Place the beef in the freezer for 30–45 minutes, until firm enough to slice thinly but not frozen solid. Slice across the grain into approximately 2–3 mm slices. Mix the soy sauce, grated pear, sugar or honey, sesame oil, garlic, spring onion, sesame seeds, and pepper. Toss the beef with the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 1–3 hours. Remove small portions from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Grill over high charcoal heat for approximately 30–60 seconds per side, adjusting for thickness, until browned and cooked to your preference. Serve immediately with rice, lettuce, and ssamjang.
