Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Pat beef dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Place beef on skillet. Sear 90 seconds per side without moving—edges should look opaque, center rare.

  5. Step 5

    Brush beef with glaze on both sides. Transfer to a cutting board and rest 3 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Slice beef against the grain into 1/4-inch strips. Arrange on a plate.

  7. Step 7

    Drizzle with any remaining glaze. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions.
