    1

    Begin by slicing the beef thinly against the grain and place it in a mixing bowl.

    2

    In a separate bowl, mix soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade.

    3

    Pour the marinade over the beef and mix well to ensure all pieces are covered. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    4

    While the beef is marinating, slice the green onion into thin pieces.

    5

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated beef along with the marinade.

    6

    Cook the beef for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and tender.
