RECIPE DECISION NOTES

Is this the right meal for today?

A pear-and-soy marinade distinguishes this beef-and-rice meal from a tomato-based beef sauce. The listed 10-minute marinade is a short preparation choice, not a claim that longer traditional preparations are unnecessary.

Plan the method before you start

Slice and marinate before starting the skillet. Work in small batches as described, keep used marinade separate from ready-to-eat food, and follow the boiling instruction before using it as sauce.

Make something good

  1. 01

    Mix pear, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and garlic. Add beef and onion and marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Start the rice according to the packet.

  2. 02

    Heat oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef and onion in small batches so the pan does not fill with liquid.

  3. 03

    Cook the beef through, checking for at least 63°C / 145°F, then let it rest for 3 minutes. Thin slices cook quickly; use a suitable food thermometer.

  4. 04

    Return any remaining marinade to the pan and boil it thoroughly before using as sauce. Finish with spring onion and serve with rice and lettuce.
