Recipe 🍳
- Slice the beef sirloin into pieces about 2–2.5mm thick—slightly thicker than for bulgogi, but ideal for yutjeon.
- Using a brush or cooking spray, lightly coat the meat surface with tuna sauce, then evenly sprinkle pepper for marinating.
- Dust the marinated beef with flour, then shake off excess so the coating adheres thinly without clumping.
- Soak the floured beef thoroughly in egg wash.
- Heat a pan with generous vegetable oil, then place the beef on it. Top generously with finely chopped green onions as garnish.
- Cook over medium heat, flipping quickly and evenly until golden brown on both sides without burning.

Cooking tips 💡
- Use lean beef sirloin for yutjeon—it stays non-greasy and delivers the most tender, clean flavor.
- Avoid applying too much tuna sauce, as it may make the dish overly salty; just lightly brush it on.
- Use plenty of oil when frying to prevent burning, and wipe the pan clean with a kitchen towel after each batch to avoid burnt odors.
- For a richer, softer texture, apply egg wash twice—once before frying and again midway through cooking.
