Instructions
- Slice the steaks very thin about 2-3mm in thickness and place inside a medium-size bowl, you can freeze for them 20 minutes so they remain firm and easier to slice.
- Add soy sauce, grated pear, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, black pepper, gochujang pepper paste, and garlic, onion, and combine and mix with the meat marinating it.
- If you want a more liquidy marinate, add the ingredients in step 2 into a blender or food processor and pulse for a few seconds or until it liquifies.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 3 to 4 hours. For best results marinate overnight.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil (depending on your skillet size) into a wok or skillet and heat on medium-high.
- Carefully place each piece of sliced beef in a single layer and fry for 3-4 minutes each side and place onto a plate.
- Add the remaining oil and repeat until all the meat is cooked.
- Once all the meat is cooked place it back into the skillet with the remaining marinating sauce, 2 tablespoon water, and shredded carrots, and cook for 3-4 minutes tossing them together.
- Serve immediately with rice, noodles, or salad. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
