Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Sirloin steak
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Thinly slice the sirloin steak against the grain into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and gochujang. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the marinade is smooth.
Add the sliced sirloin steak to the marinade and mix until the steak is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 6 hours for deeper flavor.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off before cooking. Reserve the leftover marinade.
In batches, lay the steak pieces in a single layer in the skillet and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned but still tender. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure a proper sear.
Once all the steak is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside. Add the reserved marinade to the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Allow it to reduce slightly until thickened, about 2 minutes.
Return the steak to the skillet and toss it in the reduced marinade to coat evenly.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving.
Serve the Korean sirloin hot with steamed rice or lettuce wraps, and enjoy!
