Meat
  • 2 lbs rib-eye steak or tenderloin
  • 8 cloves garlic peeled
  • 1/4 large red onion sliced thinly
  • 1 3-inch piece ginger peeled
  • 2 Asian or Bosc pears peeled
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tbs agave
  • 2 Tbs sesame oil
Rice and Toppings

  • prepared Korean BBQ meat
  • kimchi
  • 1 6-minute soft-cooked eggs (poached or fried works too)
  • sesame seeds
  • scallions
  • Yum Yum Sauce

Equipment

  • Heavy-duty skillet
  • food processor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the steak into very thin bite-sized pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Freeze the meat then thaw it in the fridge to keep it cold and slightly firm.
  2. Slice the red onion thin and toss it in with the meat.
  3. Peel the garlic, ginger, and pears. Pulse them in a food processor until the consistency is like applesauce. Add the pear mixture to the meat and stir to combine.
  4. Mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Pour over meat to cover. Toss the meat with the marinade ensuring all the meat is covered and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large heavy-duty skillet over very high heat. Discard the remaining marinade and add the steak to the pan. Sear for a few minutes, turning just once or twice, until the meat has a golden brown exterior.
  2. Arrange the rice, kimchi, and steak in a bowl. Add the egg on top and sprinkle with sesame seeds, scallions, and Yum Yum Sauce.
