Ingredients

  • 1 lb Beef ribeye
  • 3 tbsp Gochujang
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Ginger
  • 3 stalks Green onions
  • 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice beef thinly against the grain.

    💡 Rest before slicing against the grain. Ground beef should be cooked through.

  2. 2

    Mix gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic and ginger.

    💡 Very high heat to develop deep browning. Do not move the protein until it releases naturally.

  3. 3

    Toss beef in marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

    💡 Rest before slicing against the grain. Ground beef should be cooked through.

  4. 4

    Heat oil in a wok over high heat.

    💡 Maintain oil temperature - too hot burns, too cool makes greasy food.

  5. 5

    Add beef in single layer. Don't crowd - work in batches.

    💡 Rest before slicing against the grain. Ground beef should be cooked through.

  6. 6

    Stir-fry 2-3 minutes until caramelized but still tender.

    💡 High heat with small amount of fat. Ingredients should sizzle but not steam.

  7. 7

    Continue cooking until sauce clings to the beef.

    💡 Rest before slicing against the grain. Ground beef should be cooked through.

  8. 8

    Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

    💡 Cook until translucent but not browned for base. Caramelize for sweetness.
