If wished, trim sirloin steaks of excess fat. Slice across the grain into about 6mm thick strips.

Put the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and gochujang, if using, in a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the beef strips and toss through the marinade. Cover the bowl and put in the fridge for at least 2 hours to marinate.
