Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice, 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1 tbsp gochujang until the sugar dissolves.
Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak strips to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours to develop flavor.
Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 450°F). Thread the marinated beef strips onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, folding strips if needed to fit.
Step 4: Grill the beef skewers for 2-3 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked to medium-rare or desired doneness, turning carefully to avoid burning.
Step 5: Remove from grill, sprinkle 2 chopped green onions over the top, and serve immediately with steamed rice or lettuce wraps.
