Recipe 🍳

  1. Fill a pot with plenty of water and add the beef flank steak with many tendons, which is difficult to use for grilling, whole.
  2. Add radish, onion, green onion, garlic, and whole peppercorns, and simmer for 1 hour, adding water as it reduces.
  3. After 1 hour, remove only the meat and refrigerate it to cool and make it easier to slice.
  4. Strain and discard all the solids from the broth, such as the vegetables and whole peppercorns used for the stock.
  5. Refill the clear broth with water to the original level, then season to taste with soup soy sauce, salt, and beef stock powder.
  6. Ladle some broth into a ttukbaegi (earthenware pot), and add a generous amount of the thinly sliced beef flank steak that was cooled and sliced.
  7. Add pre-soaked glass noodles, egg garnish, and chopped green onions, bring to a boil, and finish by adding jujube for garnish.
  1. Add beef flank steak and aromatic vegetables to a pot, add water, and simmer for 1 hour.
  2. Remove the meat, cool, and slice thinly. Strain the broth from solids and season with soy sauce, salt, and stock powder.
  3. Combine broth, meat, glass noodles, egg garnish, and green onions in a ttukbaegi and boil once more.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Tough tendons in beef flank steak become gelatinous when heated for a long time, making the broth thick and flavorful, and the meat very tender.
  • Cooked meat is easily crushed if sliced while hot, so it's best to refrigerate it completely before slicing for a clean, thin cut.
