Kim Dae-seok's Beef and Soybean Paste Stir-Fry

Cooking tips 💡

• Avoid high heat when stir-frying beef, as it will only burn the outside while making the inside tough. Use medium heat to allow the juices to gently spread and develop a tender texture.
• Adding a small amount of water when incorporating soybean paste helps prevent it from becoming too thick, ensuring it blends smoothly with the meat and vegetables without separating.
• Simmer the soybean paste over medium-low heat for at least 3 minutes to eliminate its raw, pungent smell and sharp saltiness, allowing its deep, complex flavor to fully develop.
• For long-term storage as a base side dish, skip sesame oil and only use toasted sesame seeds to cool down. This prevents rancidity and makes it more suitable for refrigeration.
