My extra-spicy version of Beef Bulgogi that I learned from a woman in France. Serve over rice or noodles.

Ingredients

1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
5 tablespoons soy sauce
¼ cup sriracha sauce
¼ cup chopped green onion
2 ½ tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons whole dried cayenne peppers
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Place flank steak slices in a shallow dish.
Mix soy sauce, sriracha sauce, green onion, sugar, whole dried peppers, garlic, sesame seeds, sesame oil, ground cayenne, and black pepper together in a bowl. Pour over steak. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to marinate, at least 1 hour but preferably overnight.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
Remove steak slices from marinade and grill on preheated grill until slightly charred and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Simmer marinade in a wok or skillet over medium heat until thick and the consistency of gravy; pour over grilled steak.

Cook’s Note

The spicy ingredients listed above give you a sweet hot sauce. If you want to reduce the spice level, remove or reduce the hot ingredients in this order: cayenne powder, chile peppers, and finally, reduce, but don't remove, all the sriracha sauce.

Substitute dried Thai chiles for the cayenne peppers if desired.

You can also cook the steak in a wok. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in the wok over high heat. Stir-fry steak in batches until the sauce begins to darken and thicken, 2 to 3 minutes.
