Wash and slice your green onions.
Grate your garlic and slice your lemon.
In a pan on medium heat, add 2 tablespoons oil. Then, add your green onions and grated garlic. Saute for 2-3 minutes until the green onions have wilted.
Place your green onion sauce in a bowl, then add some salt, yuzu chili paste, lemon juice, sugar and sesame oil. Mix together and set aside.
Use the same pan that you saute your green onions. The leftover oil has a lot of flavor! Turn heat to medium. Add your sliced beef and saute for 3-5 minutes.
After cooking your beef, season with some salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, add the green onion sauce on top of the beef. Enjoy with rice or lettuce wraps!

Expert Tips

Don't wash the pan between the sauce and the beef. That leftover oil has all the green onion and garlic flavor!
Use extra thin beef (with some fat) and the beef will crisp up in the pan! This also cooks super quickly so you can make a meal in less than 15 minutes.
Pat the beef dry and lay it in a single layer so it browns. If your pan is small, cook it in two batches.
You can store the sauce in the fridge for up to 2 days. Add it on everything like your rice, noodles, vegetables, meats, or eggs.
