Ingredients

  • 500 grams ribeye beef
  • 1 large pear
  • 1 medium onion
  • 100 ml soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 stalks green onions
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the ribeye beef into 1/8-inch thick slices. It helps to freeze the beef for about 30 minutes to make slicing easier.

Step 2

Peel and core the pear, then grate it using a fine grater. Finely chop the garlic and onion.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix together the grated pear, onion, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the sliced beef to the marinade and mix until the beef is thoroughly coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. For best results, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

Step 5

While the beef is marinating, slice the green onions into 1-inch pieces and set aside.

Step 6

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a bit of sesame oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Cook the marinated beef in small batches to ensure a nice sear, about 1-2 minutes per side or until fully cooked.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve the Korean BBQ with a side of rice and assorted banchan (Korean side dishes) for a complete meal.
