Instructions
Step 1
Mix together mirin, pineapple juice, and sesame oil in a large, wide bowl. Add meat, turning to coat well with marinade. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 3 days, turning meat in marinade periodically. Add soy sauce and 4-6 slices of the garlic to marinade 2-3 hours before grilling meat.
Step 2
Heat a charcoal or gas grill. Mix together soybean paste and red-pepper paste in a small bowl, and set aside. Transfer meat to a platter, discarding marinade. Grill meat over medium-hot heat until lightly charred in places and cooked through, 2-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Transfer grilled meat to a serving platter. Grill remaining garlic slices and jalapeños until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side. (If grill rack is too widely spaced to hold garlic and jalapeños, cook them in a small oiled pan set on one side of the grill.)
Step 3
At the table, hold 1 lettuce leaf in one hand, put a spoonful of rice onto lettuce, spread some of the soybean and red-pepper paste mixture on rice, lay 1 or 2 pieces of meat on top, and add a piece each of garlic and jalapeño, if you like. To eat, wrap lettuce leaf around filling.
