- 1/2 Asian peargrated
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlicminced
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 tsp black pepper

- 3 green onionscut into 2-inch pieces

Instructions
-
Mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add the beef, onion and carrot and toss well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the fridge.
-
Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat until smoking. Add the beef in batches so it sears rather than steams, cooking 2 to 3 minutes per batch.
-
Toss in the green onions for the last 30 seconds.
-
Serve with rice and lettuce leaves for wrapping.
Notes
Freeze the beef for 30 minutes before slicing to get paper-thin slices. No Asian pear? Use a grated apple.
