Probably the most famous Korean recipe in Europe. The deliciousness is hidden in an unexpected ingredient in the marinade and the long marinating period which really renders the beef incredibly soft.
Since, most probably, at home you will be cooking the meat in a pan, make sure it is smoking hot and add the meat in batches to keep the temperature as high as possible and avoid just steaming it. You want to burn the outer layer of the marinade and create a pseudo-smokey flavour. Use a lean steak cut (such as a flank steak) and cut into thin strips. Allow to marinate overnight, at least 8 hrs.
For the marinade mix into a thick paste:
Soy, 6 tbsp
Mirin, 2 tbsp
Brown Sugar, 3 tbsp
Garlic, grated, 1 tbsp
Ginger, grated, 1 tbsp
Onion, 1 large pc, roughly chopped
Pear, peeled and grated, 1 pc (about 150 gr)
Marinate overnight:
Beef Sirloin, 600 gr, in thin stripes, marinated overnight
In a hot non - stick pan add the beef in batches and remove from pan as soon as sufficiently browned, a few seconds on each side. Keep excess marinade for the carrots.
In the same pan, add some olive oil and quickly saute, stirring constantly, until slightly softened:
Carrots, 2 medium pcs, peeled or thinly cut into strips
Take off heat and immediately add some of the marinade to coat them.
Place the beef on a platter, top with the carrots and garnish with:
Sesame Seeds
Spring onion tops, the green parts (and / or chives).
