Ingredients

  • 1 pound flank steak
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
  • 4 cups cooked short grain brown or white rice
  • 1 cup kimchi
  • 16 red leaf lettuce leaves

Directions

  1. Slice steak across grain into 1/4 inch slices or thinner. If steak is an inch or more thick, cut slices in half so that the strips are less than 1 inch wide. Cut strips into 3 inch long pieces.
  2. Combine steak, 1/4 cup onions (leave remainder for later), sugar, soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil in a bowl.
  3. Heat a Wok or large saute pan over high heat. Add 1 Tbsp of vegetable oil, swirling to coat. Add half the steak mixutre, stir fry for 2 minutes or until lightly browned. When done, spoon out into a bowl and repeat the procedure with the remaining 1 Tbsp oil and remaining uncooked steak mixture.
  4. Sprinkle with remaining onions and the toasted sesame seeds.
  5. To eat, spoon approx. 1/4 cup rice, about 2 tablespoons of steak, and 1 tablespoon of kimchi onto each lettuce leaf and roll it up. This can be done in the kitchen or by individuals at the table. Serve immediately!
