Main Ingredients
- 200g Fresh Beef Rump (prepared for Yukhoe)
- 1/4 Korean Pear (optional, for serving)
- A few Chestnuts (optional, for serving)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by preparing the delicious seasoning that will enhance the Yukhoe. In a bowl, add the minced garlic and finely chopped green onion. Next, add the salt (1/3 tsp) to bring out the fresh flavors.
Step 2
Then, add the sugar (1/4 tsp) for a subtle touch of sweetness. Sugar helps to deepen the overall flavor profile of the ingredients.
Step 3
Now, add the sesame oil (1/2 Tbsp) for a nutty aroma, a pinch of ground black pepper, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds to finish. Mix all the seasonings thoroughly to create your Yukhoe seasoning. It’s best to make this ahead of time.
Step 4
Prepare 200g of fresh beef rump. It’s best to use a cut that’s already well-trimmed for Yukhoe. Slice the beef into bite-sized pieces (usually thin strips about 0.5cm thick). If you’re not comfortable with knife skills, purchasing pre-sliced Yukhoe beef is a great option.
Step 5
Place the prepared beef into the bowl with the seasoning. Gently mix the seasoning into the beef, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meat mushy.
Step 6
Your Yukhoe is now ready! It’s incredibly simple to make delicious Yukhoe without any complicated steps. It’s perfect as a snack with drinks or as a special dish.
Step 7
Finally, arrange thinly sliced Korean pear on a beautiful plate (this step is optional; you can also use thinly sliced onions instead of pear). Artfully place some thinly sliced chestnuts on top of the pear, and then carefully arrange the seasoned Yukhoe. Are you ready to enjoy the vibrant colors and exquisite flavors of this fresh Yukhoe?
