Mix the gochujang, soy sauce and a splash of water in a small bowl. Pat the beef dry and season lightly with black pepper.
Heat the cooking oil in a large frying pan or wok over high heat. Stir-fry the beef in batches for 2–3 minutes until browned, then transfer it to a plate.
Lower the heat to medium. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes until it starts to soften, then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Return the beef to the pan and pour in the gochujang sauce. Toss for 1–2 minutes until the sauce is glossy and the beef is cooked through.
Taste and adjust with a little more soy sauce or black pepper if needed. Serve immediately with rice or noodles.
Notes
Serve with steamed rice or noodles and finish with sliced spring onion or sesame seeds if you have them.
