Ingredients

  • 600g steak (flank/skirt/ribeye works well), thinly sliced
  • Half a white onion
  • Vegetable oil for cooking

The Marinade

  • 4 tablespoons grated Asian pear
  • 7 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons soft brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 6-8 cloves garlic minimum, peeled and minced
  • Half a thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and minced
  • 1 spring onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Method

1. Begin by preparing your marinade ingredients: keeping the skin on, grate your Asian pear, then peel and mince your garlic and ginger, and finely chop your spring onion. Add all to a large mixing bowl along with the rest of the marinade ingredients and mix well, making sure that the sugar fully dissolves.

2. Next, peel and finely slice the white onion half, and leave to one side to be used later.

3. Now, prepare your steak. Cut the meat into thin slices, and tenderise further by bashing the pieces with the side of a knife or cleaver. Then, add the steak to the bowl of marinade mixture, and use your hands to massage the marinade flavours deep into the meat. Leave the steak to marinate in the fridge overnight, or at least for one hour if pushed for time.
