Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef ribeye (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon White sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 8 leaves Lettuce leaves (optional, for serving)
- 2 cups Steamed rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, gochujang, rice vinegar, and sesame seeds. Whisk together until the sugar is dissolved and the marinade is well-blended.
Add the thinly sliced beef ribeye into the bowl, making sure all slices are evenly coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.
Remove the beef from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Grill the beef slices for 1-2 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly caramelized. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the grill.
Transfer the grilled beef to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions and additional sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately with steamed rice and/or lettuce leaves for wrapping. Enjoy your Korean Sesame Grilled Beef!
