In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and black pepper. Add beef slices and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
In a pot, boil water and cook tteok-bokki rice cakes until soft, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook marinated beef until browned and cooked through. Remove from pan.
In the same pan, add gochujang and a splash of water. Stir and add the cooked rice cakes. Cook until sauce thickens and coats the rice cakes.
For the aioli, mix mayonnaise, sesame oil, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
To assemble, place a spoonful of beef and rice cakes onto a lettuce leaf. Drizzle with sesame aioli and garnish with sesame seeds.
