Description
A delicious and flavorful dish bringing the taste of Korea to your kitchen with quick preparation and cooking.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 6 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 Asian pear or red apple, grated
- 2 tbsp mirin (optional)
- 1 tbsp gochujang (optional, for spice)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp finely chopped green onions
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp neutral oil (for cooking)
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 cup mushrooms (shiitake or white button), sliced
- 2 tbsp honey butter (1 tbsp melted butter + 1 tbsp honey, mixed)
- Cooked rice, for serving
- Lettuce leaves or perilla leaves, for wrapping
- Extra sesame seeds and sliced green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, grated pear or apple, mirin (if using), gochujang, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade. Make sure all pieces are coated well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a grill pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp of neutral oil.
- Add the marinated beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized.
- Drizzle with the honey butter just before the beef finishes cooking to enhance caramelization. Toss quickly to coat.
- Remove the cooked beef from the pan and set it aside.
Notes
Slice the beef against the grain for maximum tenderness. For better flavor, marinate the meat for a few hours or overnight. Adjust gochujang for spice preference and add more vegetables if desired.
