Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Since napa cabbage contains high moisture, excess water can make the pesto overly sticky. After washing, dry it completely using a vegetable dryer or kitchen towel before chopping to ensure the filling stays firm and chewy.
  • The soy sauce and sesame oil will gradually penetrate the entire meat during roasting, so for balanced flavor, keep the exterior seasoning light—just a hint of salt and pepper, less than you would use for a regular steak.

Recommended for

  • Those who dislike rich Western-style roasted meats but love the deep, savory richness of sesame oil and garlic, perfect for native Korean taste preferences.
  • People who want to impress foreign friends or guests by presenting traditional Korean ingredients through a sophisticated Western oven-roasting technique.
