Bulgogi Beef Stir-Fry

Thinly slice meat in bite-size strips; place in a large resealable plastic bag. Combine pear puree, onion, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, 2 tablespoons garlic, sesame oil, ginger, gochujang sauce, and black pepper. Pour over meat; seal bag. Marinate in refrigerator 2 to 24 hours.

Drain meat; discard marinade. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry meat in batches for 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly charred. Remove meat from wok.

Add more oil, if necessary, to wok. Stir-fry carrots in hot oil for 2 minutes. Add remaining 1 teaspoon garlic, green onions, bell pepper, and snow peas. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Return meat to wok. Cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through. Serve stir-fry over rice with kimchi. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
