Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb flank steak thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ginger grated
  • 2 cups rice cooked
  • 2 green onions sliced, for garnish
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds for garnish

Equipment

  • cutting board
  • sharp knife
  • medium bowl
  • whisk
  • large skillet or wok

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by slicing the flank steak against the grain into thin strips; this will ensure the beef is tender and cooks quickly.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade for the beef.
  3. Add the sliced beef to the bowl with the marinade, tossing to coat evenly, and then let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, adding a small amount of oil if needed, then add the marinated beef in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
  2. Cook the beef for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is browned and cooked through, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  3. Once cooked, remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside, keeping it warm while you prepare the bowls.
Assembly
  1. Divide the cooked rice among serving bowls, creating a base for the beef.
  2. Spoon the cooked Korean beef over the rice in each bowl.
  3. Garnish each bowl generously with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal, then serve immediately.

Notes

For extra tenderness, marinate the beef for up to 30 minutes. You can also add some chili flakes to the marinade for a touch of heat. Serve with a side of kimchi or a fried egg for a complete meal.
