Kim Dae-seok's Beef Soup

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Pre-salting radish in soy sauce and salt enhances its texture through osmosis, making it firmer and less likely to break apart while also enriching the broth.
• Never use sesame oil or vegetable oil in this soup—sautéing the beef using only its natural fat ensures a clean, non-greasy broth.
• The 1/4 tablespoon of doenjang adds a delicate, deep umami flavor that is essential to the recipe’s character.
• You can substitute sand lance fish sauce with anchovy fish sauce for an even richer savory taste.
