Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

2

Marinate the Beef

Thinly slice the beef sirloin against the grain and add it to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.

3

Cook the Beef

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

4

Garnish and Serve

Once cooked, remove the beef from the heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot with rice or lettuce wraps.
