Notes

Note 1 : If you are using the thin sliced beef from the Asian market you can marinate for just 10 minutes. If the meat is thicker (Costco 3mm) I'd recommend at least 30 minutes to let the pears tenderize the meat, and even overnight for best results on thick cuts!
Note 2 : Using Korean Pear will provide you with the MOST tender beef. If you can't find Korean pears, Asian pears, Apples and Pears will also work.
