Method

  1. 1

    Mix the soy sauce, sugar, grated pear, half the garlic and the sesame oil into a marinade and toss with the beef, then leave for 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Mix the doenjang, gochujang and remaining garlic together to make a quick ssamjang dipping sauce.

  3. 3

    Heat a griddle pan or large frying pan until very hot and cook the beef in batches for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned and no pink remains.

  4. 4

    Separate the lettuce into leaves and arrange on a platter.

  5. 5

    Serve the beef wrapped in lettuce leaves with a little ssamjang spooned into each wrap.
