Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 pound boneless beef short rib, or any other meat, sliced about 1/8-inch thick
• 4 finely crushed garlic cloves
• 1 generous tablespoon freshly grated ginger
• 1/3 cup freshly grated Asian pear
• 1/4 cup grated yellow onion
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 1 or 2 tablespoon light brown sugar, depending on how sweet you like it
• 1 tablespoon Korean chile flakes (Gochugaru)
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

1. Mix garlic, grated onion, grated ginger, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar together in a mixing bowl. Stir in grated pear, soy sauce, and chile flakes.
2. Transfer meat to marinade and toss to coat on all sides. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.
3. Season meat with salt and a drizzle of vegetable oil. Toss.
4. Brush a cast iron skillet with a little vegetable oil and place over high heat. When skillet is very hot, add beef in a single layer and cook until meat begins to caramelize around the edges and moisture begins to evaporate, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve over hot rice and top with green onion slices.

Notes:

%s: * Bought 2.25 lbs of bone in short ribs. Maybe got a whole 1 lb out of it. Would prefer different meat. * Couldn't find Asian pear, so used pineapple instead * Used cast iron skillet over propane burner. Some pieces ended up a bit over even with only 2 minutes a side.
