Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, grated pear, and black pepper until sugar dissolves.
Step 2
Place thinly sliced beef in a large shallow dish or resealable bag and pour marinade over. Massage to coat evenly.
Step 3
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 5
Working in batches to avoid crowding, cook marinated beef for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Transfer cooked beef to a serving platter.
Step 7
Garnish with sliced green onion and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice and kimchi or other banchan.
