Author's Notes

Freeze the beef for 30 minutes to 1 hour before slicing to make it easier (and safer) to cut into.

Instead of marinating the beef in the bowl, you may also use a large Ziploc bag.

In place of grated Asian pear, you may use grated red apple or applesauce. Use a fine grater to grate the pear or apple.
