Method

In a medium bowl, stir together the pears, sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper to taste until the sugar has dissolved. Add the beef and massage the marinade into the meat. Cover and marinate in the fridge, tossing once or twice, for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. The longer you marinate the beef, the better it will taste.
