Korean · East Asia
Top Pick
GRILL
9/10
Paper-thin slices of beef marinated in soy, sesame, pear, and garlic, grilled or pan-seared until caramelized.
Why It Works
Asian pear contains calpain enzymes that tenderize meat without turning it mushy; the sugar-soy marinade caramelizes on high heat for a sweet-savory char.
Key Ingredients
beef ribeye or sirloin
soy sauce
Asian pear
sesame oil
garlic
sugar
scallions
sesame seeds
