Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk until the sugar dissolves completely.
- 2. Marinate the Beef: Place flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the beef. Seal or cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- 3. Heat Your Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil to prevent sticking.
- 4. Cook the Beef: Remove steak from marinade (discard excess) and cook in batches if necessary. Sauté each batch until browned and just cooked through—about 3-4 minutes per side.
- 5. Final Touches: Pour in the remaining marinade into the pan while stirring everything together. Let it bubble for another minute or two until slightly thickened.
- 6. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer Korean beef onto plates and garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve over rice or wrapped in lettuce leaves.
