Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and 1 tbsp sesame oil in a bowl. Add beef and pork, toss to coat evenly.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Working in batches, add meat in a single layer, spreading without overlapping. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until edges caramelize.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer cooked meat to a plate. Repeat with remaining batches until all meat is browned.

  5. Step 5

    Return all meat to the skillet. Toss with white scallion parts and remaining 0.5 tbsp sesame oil for 30 seconds.

  6. Step 6

    Slide onto a serving plate and scatter green scallion parts on top. Serve immediately with rice or lettuce wraps.
