Spicy Korean Flank Steak Bites

1.In a large bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, black pepper, and salt until well combined.

2.Add the flank steak cubes to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

3.Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Pat the pieces lightly with paper towels to promote browning.

4.Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface.

5.Working in batches if necessary, add the steak bites in a single layer. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare to medium is recommended).

6.Transfer the cooked steak bites to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.

7.Serve immediately, optionally with steamed rice, lettuce leaves, or pickled vegetables.
