Instructions
- In a medium bowl, prepare the marinade by combining the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.
- Add the marinated beef to the skillet, spreading it out in a single layer. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet, tossing everything together for an additional minute to blend the flavors.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
- Serve the Korean BBQ beef stir fry over cooked rice, allowing the savory sauce to soak into the grains.
- Enjoy this delightful dish hot and fresh!
