  • Marinated Beef BBQ

    Prepare Beef (Time: 0-40 minutes):

    Partially freeze 600g beef sirloin or ribeye for 30-40 minutes until firm but not solid.

    Slice against grain into paper-thin slices (?-inch thick). Place in large bowl.

    Make Marinade (Time: 40-50 minutes):

    Blend 1/2 Asian pear (peeled, cored), 1/2 onion, 5 garlic cloves, 1-inch ginger until completely smooth.

    In bowl, combine pear puree with 1/2 cup soy sauce, 3 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp black pepper. Whisk until sugar dissolves.

    Marinate (Time: 50 minutes + 2 hours):

    Pour marinade over beef. Mix thoroughly with hands until all slices are coated.

    Cover, refrigerate minimum 2 hours, preferably overnight (up to 24 hours).

    Cook (Time: 2 hours 0-15 minutes):

    Heat large skillet, grill pan, or outdoor grill to high heat.

    Cook in batches without overcrowding: 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through.

    Do not overcook or beef will become tough.

    Garnish and Serve (Time: 2 hours 15-20 minutes):

    Sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions.

    Serve immediately with steamed rice, lettuce leaves (for wrapping), and side dishes.
