Description
A delicious recipe for gochujang marinated ribeye steak, perfect for grilling or pan-searing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup fresh pear, grated (Asian pear, bosc pear or apple works)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or GF liquid aminos)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar (or use coconut sugar, maple syrup, or honey)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated or minced
- 1 tablespoon gochujang pepper paste (or sub garlic chili paste)
- 1 ½ pounds ribeye steak, sirloin, strip loin, or flat iron, thinly sliced (⅛-inch thick)
- 1–2 tablespoons high heat oil (peanut oil, avocado oil, wok oil, etc.)
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- 2–3 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted
- red pepper flakes to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together grated pear, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and gochujang.
- Place steak strips in the marinade in a sealed container or use a ziplock bag. Marinate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours in the fridge.
- Remove the marinated meat from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cooking. Shake excess marinade off the steak (save it!) before cooking.
- Heat oil in a cast iron skillet or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Sear the steak in batches in a single layer, roughly 2 minutes per side, avoiding moving or overcrowding the pan.
- If there is leftover marinade, add it to the pan after cooking the meat, simmer for 30 seconds, then drizzle it over the cooked meat.
- Arrange cooked meat on a platter and sprinkle with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, freshly ground black pepper, red pepper flakes, and fresh cilantro.
