Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/2 pound flank steak (or use flanken ribs); 1/4 cup dark soy sauce; 1/4 cup sesame oil; 1/2 ripe asian pear, peeled. Go ahead and eat the other half; 1 tablespoon gochujang or other chili bean paste, sriracha being your last resort; 1 tablespoon honey (or substitute maple syrup); 1 tablespoon sesame seeds; 2 cloves chopped garlic; 1 small piece of ginger thinly sliced; 1 teaspoon gochugaru (very optional)**

["Cut the peeled pear half into chunks and puree in your sturdy blender", "Add soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, gochugaru (if using) and honey to blender and pulse a few times", "Turn the blender contents into a bowl and add the garlic, ginger and sesame seeds to complete the marinade", "With a sharp knife score the top of the flank steak with four or five bias cuts. Cover the steak with the marinade and refrigerate for up to 8 hours", "Fire up your grill (remember wood is preferred). Grill the marinated steak turning only once. Test with an instant read thermometer for doneness---sorry, I don't trust the finger poke method. For me 120F works. After the steak has rested, slice very thinly, again on the bias", "*Note to cook: I like sriracha aka ""rooster sauce"" but it's become almost like ketchup in recipes. The chili and bean pastes add subtle and more complex flavor notes", "** If you can find it, this Korean hot red pepper powder is wonderful. I call it ""Korean crack."" Wonderfully aromatic. I received some from a Korean born friend of mine and fell in love with it right away."]
