How to make Korean style seasoned raw beef.
The full recipe is on my website: http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/yukhoe

Ingredients (for 4-6 servings):
380 grams (18 OZ) filet minon (tenderloin), Korean pear, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, black ground pepper, salt, pine nuts, roasted sesame seeds, endive (or lettuce).

Steak Preparation:
1. Rinse filet minon under a little cold running water and dry with paper towel.
2. Wrap it in a cotton cloth and keep it in the freezer for 1 hour.
3. In a bowl, add 2 cups of water and 1 tbs sugar. Stir it well.
4. Peel a Korean pear and cut it into thin matchsticks (about 3-4 cups).
5. Soak the pear strips in the bowl for 5 minutes. Then drain and set aside

Make sauce:
1. Finely mince a dozen cloves of garlic. Put into a mixing bowl with 1½ tbs soy sauce, 1½ tbs honey (or 2 tbs brown sugar), 1/4 ts salt, 2 tbs sesame oil, and a pinch of ground black pepper. Mix well.

Put it together:
1. Take the beef out of the freezer. Cut it into thin matchsticks, and mix with the seasoning sauce
*tip: you can add green lettuce on pear strips
2. Sprinkle some roasted sesame seeds and pine nuts over top before serving.

How to serve:
You could use as an appetizer, a side dish with alcohol, or a main dish for a party.

Thank you so much for posting this video. I have not eaten Yukhoe since I left Japan thirty years ago since I did not know how to make it. Thank you very much. Now I can make it at home to enjoy.

can you stir fry it if you can't eat raw beef

[Maangchi]

@mehero33 sure, why not? It will taste like bulgogi.

Wow, I thought the pronunciation was "yook HOE" (a hoe is a gardening tool)

my bad XD

There was a time when I used to be turned off by too much garlic.. but when it comes to eating it mixed with raw beef... yeah, please be generous with garlic
