We call that stuff Korean pear. It's traditionally used in marinades for meats because it has some tenderizing properties. The Korean cooks these days might not use it because the meats are better quality.

I made braised shortribs with the meat I got from Costco. Half of it will be used for kalbi. I'll have my wife cut the shortribs for me.
