Ingredients
- 2 pounds of beef brisket sliced thinly against the grain – (907 g)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce – 60 g
- 1/4 cup sesame oil – 60 g
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar – 25 g
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon Korean red pepper flakes gochugaru
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup green onions chopped – (25 g)
Instructions
Prepare the Brisket:
- Start by slicing the brisket thinly against the grain. Thin slices ensure even cooking and help the beef absorb the marinade better, while thick slices can be tough.
Make the Marinade:
- In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, ginger, gochujang, rice vinegar, and mirin. Stir until the sugar dissolves, creating a smooth, flavorful marinade that balances sweet, savory, and spicy notes.
Marinate the Beef:
- Add the sliced brisket to the marinade, making sure each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor and tenderness.
Cook the Brisket:
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Cook the marinated brisket in batches, searing each side for 2-3 minutes until golden and caramelized, locking in the flavors while keeping the inside juicy.
Garnish and Serve:
- Transfer the cooked brisket to a plate, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve with steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or lettuce wraps for a delicious Korean-style meal.
