Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds lean steak, (frozen (I used New York Strips))
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, (minced)
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 bunch chopped green onions, (whites and greens separated)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Sriracha (or gochujang Korean chile paste)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

While the steak is frozen, trim the fat and slice paper-thin. Frozen meat is much easier to cut thin than thawed meat.
Place the steak strips in a large bowl and top with: Soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, chopped onion whites, pepper, and sriracha. Toss to coat and allow the steak to thaw and marinate for 45-60 minutes.
Heat a wok (or large skillet) to high heat. Use tongs to transfer half of the meat to the hot wok. Spread the steak pieces around the skillet and allow them to sear on one side before using the tongs to move them around and caramelize on all sides. Once the juices have evaporated and the steak has a nice brown color, remove from the wok, 5-8 minutes.
Cover the cooked steak to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining meat, and throw out the leftover marinade. Serve warm, sprinkled with the reserved green onion tops and sesame seeds.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef. Thinly sliced flank steak or skirt steak is the best choice for bulgogi. These cuts are tender and flavorful, and they cook quickly.
Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
Use a hot skillet or grill. This will help to sear the meat and create a nice crust.
Cook the beef for a short amount of time. Overcooking will toughen the meat.
Serve the bulgogi with your favorite sides. Some popular choices include rice, noodles, and vegetables.

Conclusion:

Spicy beef bulgogi is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great party appetizer. With its bold flavors and tender texture, spicy beef bulgogi is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
