Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 green onions, sliced thinly (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper until well combined.
- 2. Marinate the Beef: Add the sliced flank steak to the marinade. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
- 3. Heat Your Grill or Pan: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.

- 5. Add Garnishes: After cooking all the beef, toss in sliced green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds for added color and texture.
- 6. Serve It Up: Enjoy your Beef Bulgogi hot over steamed rice or wrapped in lettuce leaves with additional toppings.
