1 1/2 tablespoons unrefined sugar
⅓ cup stout or porter
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
2 scallions, minced
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 Asian pear, peeled and grated

1
Wrap the steak in plastic and place it in the freezer while you put together the marinade.
2
In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar, beer, garlic, scallions, pepper, sesame oil, honey and Asian pear.
3
Take the steak out of the freezer and slice it across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick strips.
4
Stir the steak into the marinade and let it sit for 30 minutes, while you build a very hot fire or preheat a gas grill to its highest setting.
5
When the grill is very hot, sear the steak until nicely caramelized, 2 or 3 minutes on each side.
6
Work in batches to avoid crowding the meat.
7
Serve the beef with condiments and make ssam (Korean-style wraps) by folding a piece of steak or two, some rice, vegetables and herbs inside a lettuce leaf.
