Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Add 12 oz thinly sliced beef ribeye and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add marinated beef slices in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring until the edges start to brown.
Step 3: Toss the beef and add 3 sliced scallions, cooking an additional 2 minutes until beef is cooked through and scallions soften.
Step 4: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the beef before serving with steamed rice or lettuce wraps.
