Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer beef to a small bowl and wipe out skillet with a paper towel.

    Serve immediately with extra soy sauce and gochujang on the side if desired.
