Instructions
- 1
Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, gochujang, rice vinegar, and grated pear in a bowl. Add thinly sliced beef and toss to coat. Marinate at least 20 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator. The grated pear contains enzymes that tenderize the meat.

Heat vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet or wok over very high heat until smoking. Working in batches (do not crowd or the beef will steam instead of caramelize), spread beef slices in a single layer and cook without moving 1–2 minutes until caramelized and slightly charred around the edges. Toss once and cook 30 more seconds. Remove and repeat with remaining beef.

Build bowls: a base of white rice, then arrange beef, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, and kimchi in sections. Drizzle with sesame oil, scatter green onions and sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
