• To make the beef: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, Shaoxing wine or sherry, ginger, 5-spice powder, sesame oil, and white pepper. Place beef in a large Ziploc bag, pour in marinade, and toss to distribute. Place bag in refrigerator and marinate for 1 to 4 hours.
• To make the scallion pancakes: Place flour in the workbowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. With the processor running, drizzle in water and process for 15 seconds. If dough does not come together, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a solid ball forms. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth, about 1 minute. Cover dough with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Divide dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each into a smooth ball. Working one ball at a time, roll out into a circle roughly 8-inches in diameter on a lightly floured surface. Paint a layer of sesame oil over surface of dough using a pastry brush, sprinkle with salt, then roll closed like a jelly roll. Starting at one end, twist the roll up into a spiral and tuck end of dough underneath. Re-roll dough into an 8-inch circle, brush again with sesame oil, and sprinkle lightly with sliced scallions. Repeat process of rolling closed like a jelly roll and twisting into a spiral. Roll dough out into a 8-inch disk. Repeat with remaining dough.

Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Place dough on grill and cook until crisp and lightly charred, about 1 minute. Flip dough over and continue to cook until second side slightly crisps and chars, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate and cover with kitchen towel.
