Korean Skillet Beef Lettuce Wraps

This is a popular Korean dish that is meant to be eaten with your fingers. Partially freeze the beef to make slicing thinly easier (to make it really simple, get your butcher to slice for you!) make certain to squeeze out any moisture in the beef before starting this recipe. These are delicious and simple to make!

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup soy sauce
• 2  tablespoons sugar

Directions

1. In a bowl stir together soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, green onions, garlic, ginger and 4 tablespoons sesame seeds; mix until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Add in the steak and toss to coat; marinade 20 minutes at room temperature.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat until JUST smoking, then add in the steak slices in one layer, saute the slices turning occasionally until browned and cooked through (this should take about 5 minutes, you will most likely have to cook the beef in batches, depending on how large your skillet is).
