Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 3 thinly sliced green onions, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until sugar dissolves.
Step 2: Add 1 pound thinly sliced beef ribeye to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
Step 3: Heat 2 tablespoons 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 to develop a seared crust.
Step 4: Stir and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until beef is cooked through and edges are caramelized.
Step 5: To serve, spoon the sizzling beef into 10 large butter lettuce leaves, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, and wrap to enjoy the juicy, savory bites.
