- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons gochujang
- 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions
- Heat a little oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the minced garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

- Add the sauce ingredients (soy sauce, water, gochujang, sugar, gochugaru, and sesame oil) over the beef and stir to coat evenly. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and clings to the meat.
