Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs Boneless Ribeye or Top Sirloin
- ¼ Cup Soy Sauce light
- 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1 ½ Tablespoons Sesame Oil
- 3 Cloves Garlic minced
- 1 Tablespoon Ginger Root fresh, grated
- 1 Tablespoon Mirin
- ¼ teaspoons Korean Red Pepper Flakes or ½-¾ Tablespoon gochujang
- 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 2 teaspoons Sesame Seeds toasted
- 2 Green Onions chopped
- 1 Asian Pear (optional) peeled, cored, and roughly chopped or a bosc pear will work
Instructions
- Wrap steak in plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Unwrap on a cutting board and slice across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices.1 ½ lbs Boneless Ribeye or Top Sirloin
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, mirin and pepper flakes.¼ Cup Soy Sauce, 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar, 1 ½ Tablespoons Sesame Oil, 3 Cloves Garlic, 1 Tablespoon Ginger Root, ¼ teaspoons Korean Red Pepper Flakes, 1 Tablespoon Mirin
- Pour into a blender and then add the pear and blend until smooth.1 Asian Pear (optional)
- Add the steak to a gallon size Ziploc bag, with the soy sauce mixture; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. I like to vacuum seal for a faster marinade, and then cook it it with the sauce.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Do not add all meat at once! Working in batches, add steak to the grill pan in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until charred and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side then remove to a plate.2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and steak. Toss all meat back in and add the sauce, cooking until thickened and serve over rice with sesame seeds and green onions!2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil, 2 teaspoons Sesame Seeds, 2 Green Onions
