Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 3 thinly sliced green onions, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 grated Asian pear until sugar dissolves.
Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 3 hours.
Step 3: Heat a grill pan over high heat until smoking hot. Brush 2 tbsp vegetable oil evenly over the pan.
Step 4: Add marinated beef slices in a single layer, cooking for 1-2 minutes per side until edges are caramelized and meat is cooked through but still tender.
Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the cooked beef, and serve immediately with steamed rice and kimchi.
