- Marinate the Beef:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, black pepper, sesame oil, and five-spice powder. Mix well.
- Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the fridge for extra flavor.
- Prepare the Pancakes:
- If using store-bought Chinese pancakes or tortillas, warm them in a skillet over low heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until soft and pliable.
- Set them aside on a clean plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
- Cook the Beef:
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until it’s cooked through and slightly browned. The beef should be tender and juicy.
- Assemble the Rolls:
- Place a pancake on a flat surface and layer with a generous portion of the cooked beef. Top with a sprinkle of sliced green onions and cilantro leaves for added freshness.
- Roll the pancake tightly around the beef mixture to form a wrap.
- Make the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Stir well until the sugar dissolves.
- Serve:
- Slice the beef rolls into bite-sized pieces and drizzle with the prepared sauce. Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions and cilantro.
