Ingredients

  • 500 g wagyu beef ribeye or sirloin
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1 white onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 cm piece ginger, chopped
  • 1 green pear, peeled, cored and chopped
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 100 ml rice wine vinegar
  • 60 ml (¼ cup) light soy sauce
  • 2 red oak lettuce, leaves separated and washed
  • kimchi, to serve
Dressing
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 5 spring onions, thinly sliced
Marinating time: 1 hour

Instructions

1. Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips (as thin as you can but if they're a little thick, it's totally fine!). Place in a bowl with the carrot and onion and toss to combine.

2. Place the garlic, ginger, pear and brown sugar in a blender and process until smooth. Add the rice vinegar and light soy sauce and blitz to combine well. Pour over the beef and toss to combine. Cover and stand for 1 hour.

3. For the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl.

4. Heat a heavy-based chargrill pan or a barbecue flat plate over high heat until very hot. Working in batches if necessary, cook the beef mixture very quickly for 2-3 minutes or until tender and charred.

5. Place the lettuce leaves on a large serving platter and divide the beef between them. Spoon over a little dressing, then serve immediately with kimchi on the side.
