Korean-Style Sesame Grilled Beef Strips

Ingredients

4 servings
|
  • 1/2 kg
    Beef tenderloin or Sirloin
  • 1/4 cup
    Soy sauce light or Tamari
  • 2 tbsp
    Sugar brown or Honey
  • 2 tbsp
    Rice wine dry or Mirin
  • 3 clove
    Garlic fresh or Garlic powder
  • 2
    Scallion green or Chives
  • 1 tbsp
    Sesame seeds toasted or Black sesame seeds
  • 1/2 tsp
    Black pepper ground or White pepper

Instructions

1

Prepare the beef by slicing it into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Freezing the beef slightly before slicing makes it easier to cut thinly.

Ingredients needed for this step

2

In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar, rice wine, minced garlic, chopped scallions, sesame seeds, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Mix the marinade until the sugar is fully dissolved for even flavor distribution.

Ingredients needed for this step

soy sauce sugar rice wine garlic scallion sesame seeds black pepper
3

Place the beef strips in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

Marinating the beef longer enhances the flavor, but avoid exceeding 2 hours to prevent over-marination.

4

Preheat the grill to high heat and lightly oil the grates.

Ensure the grill is hot before cooking to achieve a good sear on the beef.

5

Grill the beef strips for 1-2 minutes on each side until nicely browned.

Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness and juiciness.

Ingredients needed for this step

6

Serve the grilled beef strips immediately, garnished with additional sesame seeds and chopped scallions if desired.

Serve with steamed rice and kimchi for a complete meal.
