Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a bowl to create the marinade.

Add ground beef to the marinade and mix well until fully coated.

Let the beef marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Add the marinated ground beef to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Add sliced onions and carrots to the skillet and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in chopped green onions and cook for an additional minute.

Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and black pepper.

Serve the bulgogi over cooked rice or wrapped in lettuce leaves.

Garnish with additional green onions if desired.

Enjoy with gochujang on the side for added spice.
