Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp grated ginger, 2 thinly sliced green onions, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes until sugar dissolves.
Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef ribeye to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan over high heat. Grill the marinated beef slices in batches for 1-2 minutes per side until nicely caramelized and just cooked through.
Step 4: Arrange 12 butter lettuce leaves on a platter. Spoon grilled beef into each leaf, sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, and serve with 1/4 cup gochujang sauce for dipping or drizzling.
