Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef ribeye to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature.
Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring until the edges brown.
Step 4: Stir and continue cooking for another 2 minutes until beef is cooked through and caramelized.
Step 5: Add 3 sliced scallions and toss in the pan for 1 minute until slightly softened and fragrant.
Step 6: Remove from heat and sprinkle with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
