Instructions

  1. Step 1

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

    Add beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4–5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the gochujang mixture into the skillet and toss the beef until glossy and coated, 1–2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Toast bread until lightly golden, then top with lettuce, glazed beef, and scallions.
