Ingredients

• 2 pieces (8-10 ounces each) ribeye steak
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 3 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 teaspoon (grated) fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 stalks (chopped for garnish) green onions
• 1 teaspoon (for garnish) toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons neutral oil (like vegetable or canola)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, gochujang, and rice vinegar to create the marinade.

Step 2

Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels and place them in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (up to overnight for deeper flavor).

Step 4

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.

Step 5

Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the neutral oil.

Step 6

Remove the steaks from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off, and carefully place them in the hot pan.

Step 7

Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Avoid flipping the steaks too often to achieve a good caramelized crust.

Step 8

Remove the steaks from the pan and transfer them to a cutting board. Let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 9

Slice the steaks against the grain into thin strips and plate them.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with rice, kimchi, or steamed vegetables.
