Korean BBQ Beef Lettuce Wraps with Peanut Sauce

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, gochujang, rice vinegar, and black pepper. This is your marinade.

Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

While the beef is marinating, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef to the skillet in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding).

Cook the beef for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through and slightly caramelized.

To assemble the lettuce wraps, place a spoonful of the cooked Korean BBQ beef into each lettuce leaf.

Drizzle the peanut sauce over the beef and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Serve immediately.
