Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger. Add 1 pound thinly sliced flank steak and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons gochujang and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar to make the sauce.
  3. Step 3: Heat a grill pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated beef slices in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until nicely caramelized and cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Arrange 8 large butter lettuce leaves on a platter. Top each leaf with a few slices of grilled beef, drizzle with the gochujang sauce, sprinkle with 3 sliced green onions and 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds.
  5. Step 5: Serve immediately as wraps, encouraging diners to fold the lettuce around the beef and sauce for a spicy, savory bite.
