Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and garlic in a bowl until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Toss beef cubes with the marinade, coating evenly. Let sit for 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Thread beef onto skewers, leaving space between pieces so they char, not steam.

  4. Step 4

    Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over high heat until it smokes, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Sear skewers without moving, 2 minutes per side, until edges are blackened and centers stay pink.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer to a plate, scatter scallions on top, and serve immediately.

Tools you’ll need
