Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and brown sugar until well combined. This will be your marinade.
- Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Heat the cooking 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 cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions, bell pepper, carrots, and green onions. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet, tossing everything together until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the Ul Boov over a generous helping of cooked rice, garnishing with extra green onions if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious and comforting Ul Boov!
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add sliced chili peppers or a dash of chili paste to the marinade.
- Feel free to substitute the beef with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
