Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp grated ginger, 3 sliced scallions, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef sirloin and toss to coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef along with all marinade and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until beef is browned and cooked through.
  3. Step 3: Remove from heat and sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately by spooning the beef into 8 large romaine lettuce leaves, allowing diners to wrap and eat.
