Raymon Kim's Pork Belly Steak with Perilla Pesto

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• When steaming the meat in wine, keep the lid closed to prevent moisture loss—this ensures the pork stays tender and juicy, similar to braised meat.
• For a more refined texture and flavor, crush the pesto in a mortar rather than using a blender—it preserves the crunch and aroma of the nuts and perilla leaves.
• Press the pork belly firmly with a steak press during grilling, leaving no space between the meat and the pan, so the skin and fat layer become uniformly crispy like a cracker.
