Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

1 ¼ pounds boneless beef short ribs, sliced across the grain in 1/8-inch thick slices

4 cloves garlic, finely crushed

¼ cup grated yellow onion

1 tablespoon freshly grated gingerroot

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1 tablespoon light brown sugar, or to taste

⅓ cup freshly grated Asian pear

¼ cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon Korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru)

½ teaspoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for brushing skillet

2 cups hot steamed rice, or as needed

2 sliced green onion tops for garnish

Directions

Mix garlic, grated onion, grated ginger, toasted sesame oil, and brown sugar together in a mixing bowl. Stir in grated pear, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes.

Transfer meat to marinade and toss to coat on all sides. Cover and refrigerate, 1 to 2 hours.

Season meat with salt and a drizzle of vegetable oil. Toss.

Brush a cast iron skillet with a little vegetable oil and place over high heat. When the 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.

Chef John Chef’s Note

You can marinate the beef for up to 12 hours, but I have good results with a 1- to 2-hour marination time.
