Kim Dae-seok's Beef Seaweed Soup

Sautéed using only the natural fat from the beef without sesame oil, resulting in a clear and clean broth; deep flavor achieved by using mirim and sugar to eliminate fishy and off-putting odors.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Avoid adding sesame oil, as it can cloud the broth and make it greasy—using only the beef’s natural fat ensures a clean, light texture.
  • Rubbing dried seaweed with mirim before rinsing effectively removes its characteristic oceanic fishiness.
  • Adding a small amount of sugar when drawing out beef blood enhances osmotic pressure, helping the meat tenderize quickly and eliminating off-flavors efficiently.
  • Do not add all the water at once—start with a smaller amount, simmer gently for 20 minutes, then add more later to extract a deeper, richer flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a clear, refreshing seaweed soup without the greasiness of sesame oil.
  • People wanting a reliable, deeply flavorful beef seaweed soup perfect for birthdays.
  • Anyone interested in proven techniques to eliminate seaweed’s fishy taste and beef’s off-odors.
