Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice wine, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Mix well.
2. Add thinly sliced beef to the marinade and mix until all the beef is coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
