🍳 Ingredient Preparation 🍳 Here are the fresh ingredients we’ll be using today for our savory beef stir-fried gochujang.
Step 4
🥣 Making the Sauce 🥣 First, let’s prepare the core of this delicious stir-fried paste: the seasoning sauce.
Step 5
Start by measuring and adding 2 tablespoons of soy sauce.
Step 6
Add 2 tablespoons of sugar for sweetness.
Step 7
Generously add 6 tablespoons of minced garlic for that aromatic flavor. (More garlic always makes it tastier!)
Step 8
Finally, add about half a tablespoon of black pepper to enhance the aroma.
Step 9
Using a spatula or spoon, stir until all the seasoning ingredients are well combined. A thoroughly mixed sauce will result in a richer flavor.
Step 10
Now, heat some oil in a pan and add 6 tablespoons of minced scallions to create scallion-infused oil. Using the white parts of the scallions will yield a better aroma. 😊
Step 11
Once the scallions are fragrant, add the ground beef. Break up any clumps with your spatula and stir-fry, ensuring the meat doesn’t stick together. Stir-frying quickly over high heat will keep the juices in and make the beef delicious.
Step 12
When the beef is mostly cooked and has changed color, pour in the prepared 400ml of seafood broth pack broth. Adding broth will deepen the flavor of the stir-fried gochujang.
Step 13
As the broth boils and the beef flavor infuses into it, add 2 paper cups of gochujang (measured using a paper cup), which is about 200g if you don’t have one. This is the main ingredient.
Step 14
Stir and cook, ensuring the gochujang is well dissolved into the broth without lumps. It’s important to mix it smoothly.
Step 15
Once the gochujang is fully dissolved and starts to simmer, add the remaining 4 tablespoons of sugar to adjust the sweetness. This brings the total to 6 tablespoons, combined with the initial 2.
Step 16
Add all the remaining minced garlic that wasn’t added earlier and cook together. The garlic’s flavor will further enhance the taste.
Step 17
Finally, add all the remaining black pepper to season. You can adjust the amount of pepper to your preference.
Step 18
✨ Pro Tip! ✨ If you have minced ginger at home, try adding about half a tablespoon. The ginger’s slight spiciness cuts through any richness and elevates the overall flavor. It’s okay to omit if you don’t have it! 😉
Step 19
When the stir-fried gochujang begins to thicken to your desired consistency, just before turning off the heat, drizzle in 2 tablespoons of sesame oil for gloss and a nutty aroma. Adding sesame oil at the end preserves its fragrance.
Step 20
Lastly, sprinkle generously with 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds for added nutty flavor and texture. Lightly crushing the seeds before adding them will release more of their aroma!
Step 21
💡 Important Tip! 💡 Beef stir-fried gochujang tends to thicken further as it cools. Make sure to turn off the heat when it’s slightly thinner than your desired final consistency, so it reaches the perfect thickness once cooled. 😊
Step 22
Alright, now let’s transfer the delicious, completed beef stir-fried gochujang into a nice serving bowl.
Step 23
Using the bowl I have, it filled about 2 containers. It’s great to make a large batch and enjoy it over time! 🏡
Step 24
🌟 Warning: May cause extreme cravings! 🌟 Behold, the perfectly savory and sweet beef stir-fried gochujang is ready! My mouth is watering just thinking about mixing it with rice! 🤤
