For a deeper flavor, consider adding a grated Asian pear or apple to the marinade. The enzymes help tenderize the meat. Toasting the sesame seeds enhances their nutty flavor and aroma. Gently toast them in a dry pan over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant. Adjust the amount of garlic chili paste to your preference for heat. This marinade can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
