Recipe

Prepare thinly sliced beef for yutjeon, specifically hongdugwae cut.
Place tempura flour in a wide bowl and lightly coat both sides of the beef evenly.
Soak the floured beef in well-beaten egg wash, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated.
Heat a pan with generous vegetable oil, then place the egg-coated beef in and sprinkle a little black pepper on top.
Gently cook on both sides to prevent toughness—remove as soon as the meat turns slightly browned and the egg coating is golden.
Transfer the cooked yutjeon to a kitchen towel to absorb excess oil, then sprinkle a tiny bit of taste salt while still hot for added flavor.
Mix soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and water in equal parts, then sprinkle with whole sesame seeds to make a versatile dipping sauce.

Prepare thinly sliced beef for yutjeon (hongdugwae cut).
Lightly coat both sides of the beef with tempura flour.
Dip the floured beef into beaten egg wash.
Heat oil in a pan, add the beef, sprinkle with pepper, and cook briefly.
Sear both sides lightly, transfer to a kitchen towel to drain oil, then sprinkle with taste salt.
Mix equal parts soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and water to make the dipping sauce.

Cooking tips

Using pre-seasoned tempura flour instead of regular flour eliminates the need for additional salt.
Beef becomes tough if overcooked due to moisture loss—remove it immediately once the red color fades and the egg coating turns golden.
