  1. 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. 🕒🍖
  2. 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.
  3. 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. 🥩🔥
  4. 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. 🌯✨
  5. 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. 🍶🥄
  6. Serve:
    • Slice the beef rolls into bite-sized pieces and drizzle with the prepared sauce. Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions and cilantro. 🍽️🌿
