Ingredients

1 pound sirloin steak (thinly sliced against the grain)
0.25 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar (packed)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 clove garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
0.25 yellow onion (medium, thinly sliced)
1.5 cup jasmine rice (uncooked)
1 pound fresh broccoli (florets)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine sirloin steak, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, minced garlic, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and thinly sliced yellow onion. Mix well and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
Preheat oven to 400°F. While beef marinates, cook 1 1/2 cups uncooked jasmine rice according to package directions.
On a baking sheet, toss 1 pound fresh broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender-crisp and slightly charred.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook in batches if necessary, until browned and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes per batch. Do not overcrowd the pan. Avoid overcooking to keep the beef tender.
Serve the bulgogi beef immediately over the steamed jasmine rice, alongside the roasted broccoli. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Marinating the beef longer will deepen the flavor, but even 30 minutes is sufficient. You can add sliced carrots or mushrooms to the stir-fry with the beef for more vegetables.
