Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds flank steak, or any other boneless steak like, ribeye, sirloin,
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 fresh pear, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Mirin
- 1 tablespoon sesame seed oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper
- green onions, for garnish
- toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Slice the steak very thinly with a sharp knife. To make this easier, you can place the steak in the freezer for 30 minutes before slicing.
- In a medium bowl, combine the grated pear, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, mirin, ginger, and chili powder.
- Transfer the marinade to a zip-top bag, and add the steak slices to the bag. Seal and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight, turning the bag occasionally.
- Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Working in batches, place steak slices in a single layer on the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Do not crowd the pan. Repeat until all the slices are cooked.
- Transfer the beef to a serving platter, and garnish with green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately.
