# Steps to Follow:
01 - In a mixing bowl, blend soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, gochujang, and sesame seeds. Add sliced beef and mix until thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to infuse.
02 - Combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a separate bowl. Add julienned carrot, cucumber, and sliced red onion. Toss to coat and let stand for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once pickled, drain excess liquid.

05 - Present immediately while warm, allowing guests to enjoy optimal flavor and texture.
