Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using glutinous rice flour instead of all-purpose flour or tempura batter gives the beef a distinct chewiness and significantly enhances tenderness.
  • Adding an extra egg yolk improves the color of the jeon, making it richer and more vibrant, giving it a more premium appearance.
  • Avoid adding chili powder to the green onion salad—keeping it white and tangy preserves the natural savory aroma of the beef.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to create a unique, subtly aromatic version of the usual beef jeon.
  • People who’ve found traditional beef jeon too greasy and are seeking better side dish pairings.
  • Those wanting a tender, chewy, and soft texture that stays pleasant even when cooled.
