RECIPE STEPS
1) In a large glass baking dish, mix the soy sauce with the sesame oil, brown sugar, sake, garlic, spring onions, ginger, gochujang, and pepper. Add the skirt steak and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
2) Set up your grill for direct grilling and preheat to medium-high. Lightly oil the grate. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Grill the steak over a fire for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare meat.
3) Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 3 minutes, then slice it across the grain into 6mm slices. Serve the steak with lettuce leaves, gochujang, coriander, and jalapenos. Let diners assemble their own beef rolls.
