Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- Beef rib eye (about 1cm thick) 300g
- Minari (water parsley) a handful
- Garlic chives a handful
- Scallions 3 stalks
- Sour kimchi (old kimchi) 4 leaves
- Salted squid 2 tbsp
- Assorted namul (bean sprouts, spinach, etc.) 1 cup
- Eggs 2
- Flour 3 tbsp
- Seasoned salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Gochugaru 2 tbsp
- Sugar 1 tbsp
- Sesame oil 1 tbsp
- Toasted sesame seeds 1 tbsp
- Wasabi 1 tsp
Recipe 🍳
- Wash the minari, focusing on the tender leaves, and soak in cold water. Cut the garlic chives and scallions into 5cm lengths.
- Rinse the sour kimchi leaves to remove excess seasoning. Mix minced salted squid and assorted namul in a 1:1:1 ratio, place on kimchi leaves, and roll tightly to make kimchi rolls.
- Combine gochugaru, sugar, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds to make a dressing for the herb salad.
- Beat the eggs well. Season the steak with seasoned salt and black pepper.
- Lightly dust only one side of the meat with flour, then coat that side generously with the egg mixture.
- Heat oil in a pan over high heat. Place the steak uncoated side down first and sear for 1 minute 30 seconds like a steak.
- Flip the meat and cook over high heat until the egg-coated side is golden and puffy, about 1 minute.
- Toss the prepared herbs with the dressing and wasabi. Slice the yukjeon into bite-sized pieces and plate with the herb salad and kimchi rolls.
- Prepare the vegetables, dressing, and namul-stuffed kimchi rolls.
- Season the meat, then coat one side with flour and egg.
- Sear the uncoated side first in a pan, then flip and cook the egg side until golden.
- Arrange on a plate with the herb salad and kimchi rolls.
Cooking tips 💡
- Make the dressing for the herb salad at least half a day in advance so the gochugaru matures and the flavor deepens.
- When cooking the egg-coated side, fry over high heat almost like deep-frying so the batter puffs up and seals in the juices.
