Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp grated ginger, 1 tbsp gochujang, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until sugar dissolves. Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef ribeye, tossing to coat evenly. Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated beef in a single layer, cooking without stirring for 2 minutes to sear.
Step 3: Stir-fry the beef for another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked and slightly caramelized.
Step 4: Add 4 sliced green onions and cook for 1 more minute until slightly wilted but still bright green.
Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, and serve immediately with steamed rice or lettuce wraps.
