Instructions
- 1
If the ribeye is not pre-sliced, place it in the freezer for 20–30 minutes until firm but not frozen solid, then slice it 1/8-inch thick against the grain using a sharp knife. This makes thin, even slices much easier to achieve.

Combine the Asian pear, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, white parts of the green onions, and black pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
