For the best flavor, use a ripe Asian pear. Its sweetness and subtle tang enhance the marinade. Adjust the amount of Korean red pepper flakes to your spice preference. A little goes a long way! Slicing the beef thinly against the grain is crucial for tenderness. If your butcher can do this for you, it will save time and ensure even slices. Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the beef. This will lower the temperature and result in steamed, rather than caramelized, meat. Serve with a variety of Korean side dishes (banchan) for a complete and authentic meal experience.
