An easy and flavorful Korean-inspired dinner featuring thinly sliced beef marinated in a savory soy-based sauce. Perfect for a weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound thinly sliced beef (such as sirloin or ribeye)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Cooked rice, for serving
  • Optional toppings: sliced green onions, sesame seeds, shredded carrots

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.
  2. Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the marinated beef in a single layer, working in batches if necessary, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
  5. Serve the Korean beef immediately over cooked rice.
  6. Add your favorite optional toppings.

Notes

  • For best results, use thinly sliced beef that is slightly frozen, as this makes it easier to slice and marinate.
  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your sweetness preference.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a touch of heat.
