Ingredients
Scale
- Beef: 1 pound of flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- Noodles: 8 ounces of fresh udon noodles
- Sauce:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar

- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- Garnish:
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, sugar, garlic, and ginger to create the marinade.
- Add the sliced beef to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
- While the beef marinates, cook the udon noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
