  1. Butterfly the lamb
  2. 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.)
  3. 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.
  4. When the lamb is done marinading, preheat the grill to medium-high
  5. 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.
  6. 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).
  7. During the last 5 minutes of grilling on each side, brush the lamb with the glaze.
  8. Transfer to a cutting board and let sit for 10 minutes.
  9. While the lamb is sitting, grill the pear wedges on the hottest part of the grill, 3 minutes per side.
  10. 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.
  11. To eat, wrap a peice of lambe and a wedge of pear in a lettuce leaf and dip it into the sauce.
