Ingredients

  • Beef sirloin - 300 grams
  • Soy sauce - 60 ml
  • Brown sugar - 15 grams
  • Sesame oil - 10 ml
  • Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
  • Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
  • Green onions - 2, chopped
  • Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
  • Mixed vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms) - 200 grams
  • Lettuce leaves - 4 large
  • Gojujang (Korean chili paste) - 1 tablespoon
  • Rice - 150 grams (uncooked)

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green onions to create the marinade.
  2. Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips and marinate in the mixture for at least 30 minutes, ideally 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  3. While the beef marinates, rinse the rice and cook it according to package instructions.
  4. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove the beef from the marinade and grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked to your desired doneness.
  6. In the same pan, add the mixed vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp.
  7. To serve, layer the grilled beef, sautéed vegetables, and a spoonful of gochujang on each lettuce leaf, then wrap and enjoy with a side of rice.
  8. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for added flavor and texture.
