Steps

1
Freeze the beef for 45 minutes until firm but not solid, then slice it against the grain as thinly as you can manage.
2
Grate the pear and combine it with the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and pepper. The pear enzymes tenderise the meat, so do not marinate beyond 4 hours or it turns mushy.
3
Marinate the sliced beef for 2-4 hours in the fridge.
4
Get a heavy pan or grill plate as hot as it will go.
5
Cook the beef in small batches in a single layer, no more than 60-90 seconds a side. Crowding the pan steams it and the sugar never caramelises.
6
Add the sliced onion to the last batch and cook until just softened.
7
Pile everything together, scatter with spring onions and sesame seeds, and serve with rice and lettuce leaves for wrapping.
