Step 1
Whisk the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and grated pear together in a bowl. The pear contains enzymes that tenderize the beef.
Step 2
Add the sliced beef and toss to coat. Let it marinate while you cook the rice and prep your toppings, at least 10 minutes.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat until it is nearly smoking. Working in two batches so you do not crowd the pan, add the beef in a single layer.
Step 4
Sear without moving for about 90 seconds, then stir until the beef is just cooked through and the marinade has reduced into a glaze, about 2 more minutes.
Step 5
Pile the beef over rice in bowls. Scatter green onions and sesame seeds over the top.
