  16. 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar, divided
  17. 1 large carrot, julienned with a mandolin or coarsely grated using the large holes of a box grater
  18. 4 cups baby spinach
  19. 4 cups cooked grains, such as farro, quinoa, and/or brown rice
  20. 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  21. 6 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed, strings removed, or snow peas, blanched
  22. 1/2 cup kimchi, preferably daikon radish, sliced (optional)
  23. 4 fried eggs (optional)
  24. 1 scallion, thinly sliced
  25. 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Method

  1. Whisk pear juice, soy sauce, vinegar, vegetable oil, garlic, sesame oil, ginger, gochujang, brown sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.
  2. Pour 1 cup of marinade into a large resealable bag or bowl; reserve the remaining marinade. Whisk in gochujang, brown sugar, and salt. Add steak and toss to coat, then let rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
  3. Heat the Egg to 450ºF direct heat with a cast iron grate. Remove steak from marinade and pat dry, discard marinade. Cook steak until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 125°F, 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  4. Toss cabbage, 1 Tbsp. marinade, and 1 Tbsp. vinegar in a small bowl. Toss carrots, 1 Tbsp. marinade, and the remaining 1 Tbsp. vinegar in another small bowl. Let rest for at least 10 minutes.
  5. Toss spinach, grains, and salt with 1/2 cup marinade in a large bowl. Divide among 4 bowls. Top with beef, cabbage, carrots, peas, and kimchi, if used. Place 1 fried egg in the center of each bowl, if using. Top with scallion and sesame seeds. Serve with gochujang and remaining marinade alongside.
  6. **Steak can be marinated 10 hours ahead; chill in a bag. Let the steak come to room temperature at least 1 hour before cooking. Cabbage and carrots can be marinated 1 day ahead: cover and chill.
