Chef's Notes: Tips: 
If you don’t do the boneless short ribs, and go with pork loin, or chicken, you’ll want to be especially careful with the marinade time (marinade for less time), since it has less connective tissue.

Meat Ingredients: 
1 ¼ pound boneless beef short rib, or any other meat, sliced about 1/8-inch thick

Marinade Ingredients:
4 finely crushed garlic cloves
1 generous tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1/3 cup freshly grated Asian pear
1/4 cup grated yellow onion
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 or 2 tablespoon light brown sugar, depending on how sweet you like it
1 tablespoon Korean chili flakes (Gochugaru)

Post-Marinade Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Optional Garnish Ingredients:
sliced green onions
sesame seeds
Sprinkle Korean chili flakes

Other Ingredients:
steamed rice

Procedure:
Mix together all the marinade ingredients together. Cut the meat 1/8"-1/4" thick and cut across the grain. Marinade meat 1-2 hours in the refrigerator covered. Remove from the refrigerator and
add a bit salt, and vegetable oil. Using a smoking hot cast iron pan, heat pan at the highest heat. Pan fry 2-3 minutes per side. Place on top of rice. Top with fresh scallions.
