Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 3 thinly sliced green onions to create the marinade.
Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef ribeye to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 4: Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring to develop a caramelized crust.
Step 5: Flip the beef and cook another 2-3 minutes until cooked through and sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.
Step 6: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the beef. Serve immediately with steamed rice or lettuce wraps.
