Ingredients

  • Salad
  • 2 tablespoons asian pear, grated
  • 9 grams garlic, minced
  • 67 grams tamari
  • 37 grams gochuchgang
  • 22 grams ginger, minced
  • 17.5 grams brown sugar
  • 24 grams sesame oil
  • 1 pound boneless shortrib, we suggest 2" thick
  • 16 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 pound yellow wax beans
  • 1 ear corn
  • 1/4 cup red onion, julienned
  • 1 asian pair, sliced 1/8 inch thick
  • 1 avocado
  • 4 ounces watercress
  • 4 ounces radicchio
  • 4 ounces frisee
  • 12 cilantro sprigs
  • 20 thai basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
  • Dressing
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup carrots, grated
  • 2 tablespoons ginger, peeled and minced
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Method

  • Mix asian pear, garlic, tamari, gochuchgang, ginger, brown sugar, sesame oil together to make marinade.
  • Slice the shortrib, against the grain into 1/8th inch thick pieces. If shortrib isn't easy to slice, wrap and put in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up the meat.
  • Rub marinade into the sliced shortrib. Any extra unused marinade will keep in the fridge for 4 days, or will freeze nicely. Marinate beef for 1-12 hours.
  • Toss wax beans in extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper and grill for 30 seconds.
  • Lightly grill corn and slice kernels off.
  • Soak red onion and radishes in ice water for 5 minutes.
  • Place the shortrib slices on a hot grill or grill pan and grill for 30-45 seconds on each side. Set the meat aside.
  • Whisk olive oil, rice wine vinegar, grated carrots, ginger, lime juice, honey, sesame oil and salt in a bowl.
  • In a large serving bowl, add the watercress, radicchio and frisee. Pour 1/4 cup of ginger-carrot dressing around the inside of the bowl. Season with a teaspoon salt and 6 grinds of fresh black pepper. Gently toss the greens with the dressing.
  • Add the tomatoes, grilled beans, grilled corn, red onion, radishes, Asian pear, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2-3 tablespoons carrot-ginger dressing and gently toss, divide on the 4 plates.
  • Place 4-5 slices of the shortrib on top and garnish with 1/4 of sliced avocado, 4 cilantro sprigs, 5 thai basil leaves and toasted sesame seeds.
