Step by step
Method
4 steps
- 1
Marinate 1 pound thinly sliced beef in soy, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and a spoon of grated onion for at least 15 minutes while you prep lettuce cups and any banchan.
- 2
Heat a skillet or grill pan over high until almost smoking. Shake excess marinade off the beef and sear in a single layer 60–90 seconds per side until the edges char a little and the meat loses its raw red.
- 3
Pile beef on a platter. Warm rice briefly. Put out gochujang or ssamjang and crisp lettuce.
- 4
Eat immediately — wrap, bite, repeat. You're after hot caramelized beef against cold crunchy leaves, not a soggy salad bowl.
