how to make Beef Grilled Meat

Ingredients:

• Steak: 750 g (1.65 lbs) flank or skirt steak, very thinly sliced against the grain
• Marinade:
  • 80 ml (⅓ cup) low-sodium light soy sauce
  • ½ tbsp gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 2 tsp minced ginger
  • ½ tsp garlic powder or 1 tsp garlic paste
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil (e.g., avocado or rapeseed)
  • 4 tbsp light brown sugar
• To Serve:
  • Sesame seeds
  • Boiled rice
  • Chopped cucumber and tomato

Directions:

1. Prepare the marinade: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, gochujang, mirin, ginger, garlic powder or paste, sesame oil, neutral oil, and brown sugar.
2. Marinate the steak: Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade. Mix thoroughly to coat all the pieces. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
3. Preheat the pan: Warm a serving bowl in the oven to keep the first batch of cooked beef warm. Heat a wok over very high heat until smoking hot.
4. Cook the steak: Work in two batches. Add half of the beef to the hot wok and spread it out in a single layer. Let it sear undisturbed for about 3 minutes to caramelize, then stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until browned and slightly crispy. Transfer to the warm bowl and repeat with the remaining beef.
5. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately with boiled rice. Add chopped cucumber and tomato on the side for freshness.
