Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds beef ribeye or sirloin (thinly sliced)
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.5 pear Asian pear (grated)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 3 stalks green onions (thinly sliced)
• 1 tablespoon mirin (optional)
• 1 teaspoon gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes, optional for spice)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (lightly toasted)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

Place the thinly sliced beef into a large mixing bowl or a resealable plastic bag.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, grated Asian pear, minced garlic, sesame oil, and mirin (if using). If you prefer a spicier marinade, add gochugaru to the mixture.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the beef slices, ensuring that every piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the plastic bag, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor).

Step 4

Preheat a grill, grill pan, or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to prevent sticking if using a pan.

Step 5

Cook the marinated beef slices in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan or grill. Each side will need about 2–3 minutes, or until the beef is caramelized and cooked through.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked beef to a serving plate and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Step 7

Serve hot with steamed rice, kimchi, or your choice of side dishes. Enjoy the rich and flavorful taste of Korean Barbeque Beef!
