Method
 

Making the Beef
  1. Marinate the beef strips in a bowl, mixing together soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add the marinated beef strips. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Making the Salad
  1. Slice the cucumbers thinly and place them in a bowl. Toss with rice vinegar, chopped green onions, and sprinkle sesame seeds. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Assembling the Dish
  1. Serve the warm beef strips on a plate with a side of the refreshing cucumber salad.
  2. Use lettuce leaves to wrap the beef and cucumber salad for a fun finger-friendly meal.

Notes

Optional garnish with fresh cilantro for an extra layer of flavor.
