Ingredients
- 1 lb beef (thinly sliced, flank or sirloin)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar (brown sugar preferred)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 onion (sliced)
- 1 green onion (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (minced)
- Black pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, sliced onion, chopped green onion, minced ginger, and black pepper. Mix well until the sugar dissolves.
- Marinate the Beef: Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade. Ensure each piece is well coated. Cover and let the beef marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Cook the Beef: Heat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer, cooking until browned and fully cooked, roughly 5 to 7 minutes.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer the cooked beef to a serving dish, garnish with sesame seeds, and serve with steamed rice or in lettuce wraps.
Notes
For optimal flavor, marinate for at least 30 minutes, but overnight is best. Ensure the beef is sliced thinly for easy cooking.
