- 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
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.
- 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.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- 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.
- Serve the Korean beef immediately over cooked rice.
- 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.
