Key Ingredients

When choosing the beef for this recipe, look for cuts that are at least 1 inch thick, as they will hold up well to quick cooking. Sirloin and ribeye are great options, but feel free to experiment with other cut types for different flavor profiles. You can also adjust the level of spiciness to your liking by adding more or less red pepper flakes.

For the vegetables, use a mix of colorful bell peppers and carrots for a visually appealing dish. You can customize the mix to your liking, but aim for a variety of crunchy and soft textures.

When selecting the gochujang, choose a brand that’s made with fermented soybean paste and has a thick, sticky consistency. You can find gochujang at most Korean grocery stores or online.
