- Butterfly the lamb
- Combine the ginger, garlic and scallions in a food processor and process to mix. Add the soy sauce, sake, sesame oil, sugar and pepper and process to mix. Pour one third of the mixture over the bottom of a baking dish just large enough for the lamb. Arrange the lamb on top and pour the rest of the marinade over it. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight, turning the lamb once or twice. (Alternatively, marinate in a ziploc bag with the air squeezed out.)
- While lamb is marinating, make the dipping sauce by placing the soy sauce, sake and sugar into a mixing bowl and stir until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the pear, scallions, sesame seeds, and pepper. Divide the sauce among small bowls for dipping.
- When the lamb is done marinading, preheat the grill to medium-high
- Brush oil on the gril and place the lamb fat side down on it. Grill 10-15 minutes per side for medium rare (about 145 F on a thermometer). Lower the heat or move to a cooler part of the grill if it starts to burn.
- While the lamb is grilling on the first side, put the remaining marinade into a saucepan, add the butter and sugar, and boil until it is thick and syrupy (3-5 min).
- During the last 5 minutes of grilling on each side, brush the lamb with the glaze.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let sit for 10 minutes.
- While the lamb is sitting, grill the pear wedges on the hottest part of the grill, 3 minutes per side.
- Thinly slice the lamb across the grain. Arrange lamb slices, grilled pears and lettuce leaves on a platter with the bowl of dipping sauce alongside.
- To eat, wrap a peice of lambe and a wedge of pear in a lettuce leaf and dip it into the sauce.
