Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to make the bulgogi marinade.
Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye beef to the marinade and mix well. Let it marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Step 3: While the beef marinates, combine 1 cup thinly sliced green onions, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1 tbsp sesame seeds in a small bowl to make the scallion salad; set aside.
Step 4: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and slightly caramelized.
Step 5: Serve the bulgogi beef topped with the fresh scallion salad for a bright contrast.
