Ingredients

2 pounds prime rib, sirloin, or flank steak, frozen for 30 minutes or bought pre-sliced from an Asian or Korean market.
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
4 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup Kikkoman sukiyaki sauce or 1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground Korean red pepper or cayenne
2 to 4 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced into 2-inch-long strips (about 1 cup)
3 doves garlic, minced Lettuce leaves, for serving Cooked white rice, for serving Gochujang (Korean hot red pepper bean paste), optional

Directions

1. If using unsliced beef, remove from the freezer and slice to 1/8-inch thickness. In a medium bowl, mix together the sesame seeds, oil, sugar, sukiyaki sauce, salt, black pepper, red pepper, scallion, and garlic. Add beef, and let marinate, covered, for 30 minutes or up to overnight, in the refrigerator.

2. Preheat indoor barbeque grill to medium-high. Place marinated beef on grill, and cook until beef is brown and the edges begin to crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (Alternatively, the meat may be broiled about 5 minutes per side.)

3. Place 1 tablespoon rice and 1 slice of beef on each lettuce leaf. Add a drop of bean paste, if you desire. Wrap like a taco, and serve immediately.
