    • 1/8 cup of rice wine vinegar 
    • 5 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

    • 3 green onions, julienned

    • 2 cups Napa cabbage, finely sliced or shredded
    • 3-4 carrots, sliced into ribbons
    • Sesame seeds for garnish
    • Cooked rice or quinoa for serving 

Instructions:

  1. Add your sliced beef into a bowl.
  2. Season the beef with salt and the tapioca starch.
  3. Take 2-3 minutes to massage the beef and coat the outside with the salt and tapioca starch. 
  4. In a separate, large bowl add the ingredients for the marinade and whisk together.
  5. Use a clean spoon to taste the marinade and adjust to your liking. If you would like more sweetness, add additional pear juice, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, etc.
  6. Pour about half of the marinade over the ribeye and let sit for 10 minutes.
  7. Reserve the remaining marinade.
  8. Clean your work surface. 
  9. While your beef sits in the marinade, chop your vegetables and fruit on a clean cutting board with a clean knife so as not to cross-contaminate with raw beef.
  10. Heat a large sauté pan or skillet to medium heat.
  11. Add the avocado oil to the pan.
  12. Once your pan is heated, use tongs to remove the beef from the marinade and place it in your pan.
  13. Sear your meat on each side for about 4 minutes, or until the beef is no longer pink and begins to form a crust.
  14. Using a clean set of tongs, carefully remove the beef and place it on a clean dish. Put it to the side.
  15. Turn the heat to low – medium.
  16. Add the marinade from the bowl with the beef. 
  17. Add the cabbage and carrots to the pan and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5-6 minutes. 
  18. While the vegetables cook, prepare your salad garnish. 
  19. In a clean bowl, add the green onions, pear, and furikake.
  20. Toss to coat the pear and scallions with the seasoning. Add more as needed. Set off to the side.
  21. Add the beef back to the pan and mix into the vegetables.
  22. Turn off the heat. 
  23. Serve your beef and vegetables over cooked rice or quinoa. 
  24. Top with pear and green onion salad. 
  25. Garnish with sesame seeds. 
  26. Enjoy!
