Marinade

1 cup Aged soy sauce

1 tbs Brown sugar

2 tbs Toasted sesame oil

3 tbs gochujang (korean chili paste)

4 cloves Garlic, minced

1 tbs Ginger, grated

4 stalks Green onions, chopped

1 tsp black pepper

Beef

1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced

Garnish

1 tbs Sesame seeds

2 stalks additional green onions, sliced

Method

Marinade Preparation

Combine Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, gochujang, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, and black pepper until well combined.

Marinate Beef

Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for maximum flavor.

Cooking

Preheat Grill or Skillet

Preheat a grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little oil to prevent sticking.

Cook Beef

Remove the beef from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Cook the beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan or grill, for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until nicely caramelized and cooked through.

Serving

Garnish and Serve

Once cooked, transfer the beef to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and additional sliced green onions. Serve hot with rice or lettuce leaves for wrapping.
