Prepare the marinade by combining together the Asian pear, onion, garlic, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, honey, sesame oil, and black pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth and no chunks remain.

Pour the marinade over the thinly-sliced beef, being sure to thoroughly cover each piece. Let marinate for at least 1 hour.

Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the sliced onions and carrots until they've softened slightly, about 3-5 minutes.

Add in the marinated beef and continue to cook until its juices begin to release.
