Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp gochujang. Whisk until sugar dissolves and marinade is well blended.
Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef ribeye to the marinade and toss well to coat. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours refrigerated.
Step 3: Heat a large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook, stirring frequently, for 4-5 minutes until the beef is browned, caramelized, and cooked through.
Step 4: Remove from heat and stir in 2 sliced green onions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds.
Step 5: To serve, place a spoonful of the beef mixture onto each of 8 butter lettuce leaves, top with a few julienned carrot strips, and fold into wraps.
