This Man's Cook Spicy Beef Muktukguk

A Gyeongsang-style spicy soup made by stir-frying beef and radish in gochugaru to extract chili oil, then simmering with bean sprouts and green onions.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When adding gochugaru, avoid high heat to prevent burning—use medium-low heat and cook until the radish naturally releases moisture.
  • Skim off foam and excess oil periodically to ensure a clean, non-greasy, and refreshing spicy broth.
  • If tuna sauce is unavailable, substitute with an equal amount of dried anchovy sauce or squid sauce for a similar umami depth.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a bolder, richer broth instead of a mild beef radish soup.
  • Home cooks wanting to recreate a labor-intensive dish like yu-gae-jang using simpler ingredients.
