Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Method
 

  1. Whisk the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, pepper, and pepper flakes together in a small bowl until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 1 minute.
  2. Pour the marinade over 1 pound of beef in a dish or zip-top bag, toss to coat evenly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours before cooking.

Notes

For a sticky glaze, set aside a couple of tablespoons of the marinade before adding the beef, simmer it for a minute, and brush it on during the last moments of cooking.
