For the Marinade

1/2 cup fresh Korean pear or apple juice
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1/8 cup sesame oil
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon chopped scallions or green onions
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds, plus more for garnish
pinch of freshly ground black pepper

For the Kimchi Potato Salad

1/2 cup Japanese mayonnaise
1/3 cup chopped store-bought kimchi, plus 2 tablespoons for garnish
salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups marble potatoes, boiled until tender and cut into bite-size chunks
2 tablespoons chopped scallions or leeks (green part only)

Directions:

1 Make the marinade: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Place beef in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag and coat evenly with marinade. Marinate for at least 2 hours or up to 1 day in the refrigerator.

3 Preheat a charcoal grill. Place beef on grill and cook for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with salad, lettuce, rice, and Korean chili paste.
