Recipe

Prep: 15 min Cook: 10 min Total: 25 min 2-3 servings

Ingredients

300 grams beef ribeye, thinly sliced
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons mirin
1 tablespoon grated ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 pear, grated
1 carrot, julienned
2 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1 In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, mirin, grated ginger, minced garlic, sliced onion, and grated pear.

  3. 3 Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. 4 Add the marinated beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. 5 Add the julienned carrot and cook for an additional 2 minutes until slightly softened.
  6. 6 Stir in the chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and cook for another minute.
  7. 7 Season with black pepper to taste and serve hot.

Tips

For a more authentic taste, use Korean pear if available. Serve with steamed rice and kimchi for a complete meal.
