Preparation and Cooking
- Prep the Beef: If your beef isn’t already sliced, pop it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes for easier slicing.
- Whisk the Marinade: Combine soy sauce, gochujang, grated Asian pear, minced garlic, grated ginger, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar, and black pepper in a small bowl.
- Marinate the Beef: Pour the marinade over the sliced beef, cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 4 hours.
- Heat the Pan: Heat a large cast-iron skillet or wok over high heat, adding neutral oil until it shimmers.
- Cook the Beef: Add a single layer of beef to the skillet, cooking for 1-2 minutes per side until caramelized.
- Finish Cooking: Remove cooked beef and repeat with remaining marinade, adding more oil as necessary.
- Assemble the Bowls: Layer steamed rice in each bowl, top with beef, green onions, and sesame seeds.
