Bulgogi (Korean Marinated Beef)

1 lb. sliced ribeye beef (korean stores sell the right cut)
1/2 c. soy sauce
1/3 c. sesame oil
2 T. sugar
3 cloves sliced garlic
Black pepper
Toasted sesame seeds
sliced spring onions

Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and garlic together. Taste and adjust for seasonings. Add black pepper, sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Marinate beef at least one hour. Grill bulgogi (best over a flame) a few miniutes on each side. It should be cooked through thoroughly but not dry. Serve with rice, sam (large lettuce leaves) and kochujang (hot bean paste). In each lettue leaf, put a little bit of rice, some bulgogi and some hot bean paste. Roll like a little taco.
