• 1 1⁄2 lbs top sirloin steaks, thinly sliced

2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
3. Remove the beef from the marinade, and discard the marinade. Place a sheet of aluminum foil on the heated grill, and lay the beef slices separately on the foil.

6. You can substitute 2 shredded fresh pears fro the pear juice.
7. For better taste, soak beef in cold water for a couple of hours. Change water occasionally.
8. OPTIONAL: Serve with a handful of Korean sweet-potato noodles. If pan-frying the beef, you can add 1/2 cup of beef broth to make a sauce to go over rice.
