Instructions
Freeze the beef for 20 minutes to make it easier to slice, then slice it as thinly as you can across the grain.
Mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, grated apple, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and pepper in a bowl. Add the beef and onion and toss. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Heat the oil in the skillet over high heat until smoking. Add a single layer of beef and let it sear without moving until caramelized underneath, 1–2 minutes.
Toss and cook until just done, 1 minute more. Repeat with the rest, adding the green onions to the last batch.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with rice, lettuce leaves and kimchi if you have it.
Notes
- Cooking in small batches in a very hot pan is what gives the beef its caramelized edges instead of a stewed texture.
