Ingredients
- For the steak marinade:
- 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar or honey
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- ¼ tsp black pepper

- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- Optional: sriracha or gochujang for extra heat
Instructions
- Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Add sliced steak and toss to coat. Marinate at least 20 minutes (up to 2 hours for extra flavor).
- Cook the Steak: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook steak slices 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking.

- Serve & Enjoy: Serve immediately for a fresh, restaurant-style Korean BBQ experience at home.
Notes
- Marinate steak longer for more intense flavor.
- Add pickled vegetables for extra tang.
- Gochujang can be substituted with sriracha for milder heat.
