1 1/2 lbs. lean boneless beef
6 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. sesame oil or salad oil
2 tbsp. rice wine (Sake)
1 green onion (including top), thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 tsp. black or red pepper

Cut meat across the grain into thin slices. In a bowl, combine all other ingredients. Add meat to bowl; cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours.

To cook: Place meat on a lightly greased grill about 4 inches above a solid bed of glowing coals. Cook, turning once, just until browned on both sides (2-3 minutes). Serve immediately. Serves 4-6.
