8 steps

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Japanese or Korean dark soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for grilling
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 3 medium garlic cloves, crushed, peeled, and grated
  • 3 scallions, root and dark green ends trimmed, and 6-inch stalks minced
  • 2 pounds marbled sirloin or rib steak, sliced paper thin against the grain

Directions

  1. 1
    Whisk together the soy sauce and sugar in a bowl until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. 2
    Stir in the vegetable and sesame oils, sesame seeds, garlic, and scallions until well combined.
  3. 3
    Add the beef, tossing it with your hands to make sure it is evenly coated on all sides.
  4. 4
    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it, allowing the meat to marinate for 30 minutes.
  5. 5
    Drain the beef, shaking off the excess liquid and scraping off the scallion and garlic.
  6. 6
    Grill the beef, laying the slices flat on a table hibachi.
  7. 7
    If using a grill pan, brush a generous amount of vegetable oil on the cooking surface and heat it over medium-high heat.
  8. 8
    When it starts to smoke, add the beef slices and grill to your preferred doneness, but no more than 5 seconds on each side, so the beef remains tender.
