A premium yutjeon made with lean beef sirloin, marinated in tuna sauce and topped with finely chopped green onions to completely eliminate greasiness.

🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who enjoy a refined yutjeon with a fresh green onion aroma and no greasiness
  • People seeking a smooth, elegant beef dish to serve guests during holidays or special occasions

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • beef sirloin (2~2.5mm thickness) as needed
  • tuna sauce a little
  • pepper a little
  • all-purpose flour as needed
  • eggs 2~3
  • green onion as needed
  • vegetable oil generously

Recipe 🍳

  1. Slice the beef sirloin into pieces about 2–2.5mm thick—slightly thicker than for bulgogi, but ideal for yutjeon.
  2. Using a brush or cooking spray, lightly coat the meat surface with tuna sauce, then evenly sprinkle pepper for marinating.
  3. Dust the marinated beef with flour, then shake off excess so the coating adheres thinly without clumping.
  4. Soak the floured beef thoroughly in egg wash.
  5. Heat a pan with generous vegetable oil, then place the beef on it. Top generously with finely chopped green onions as garnish.
  6. 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.
