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.
