Beef Yakiniku
This Beef Yakiniku recipe features thinly sliced beef marinated in a sweet-sesame-soy sauce, wok-fried for a deliciously caramelized finish.
Equipment
- Wok
- large bowl
Ingredients
Steak
- 750 g flank or skirt steak sliced into very thin slices, against the grain
Marinade
- 80 ml low-sodium light soy sauce
- 0.5 tablespoon gochujang Korean red bean paste
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 2 teaspoon minced ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 teaspoon garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil avocado or rapeseed
- 4 tablespoon light brown sugar
To Serve
- sesame seeds
- Boiled rice
- chopped cucumber
- chopped tomato
Instructions
Preparation
- Mix the marinade together in a large bowl until combined.
- Add the sliced steak and stir together to thoroughly coat the steak in the marinade.
- Cover the bowl and place in the fridge to marinate for 2 hours.
Cooking
- After two hours, warm up a bowl or dish in the oven.
- Heat a wok over a very high heat.
- Working in 2 batches, add the steak to the hot wok and spread it out as much as you can.
- Fry for about 3 minutes, without moving it around, then toss with a spatula and fry for another 2-3 minutes, until the steak is browned and lightly caramelized.
- Place in the warm bowl and repeat with the remaining steak.
- Once all of the steak is cooked, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with boiled rice.
- I like to serve with some chopped cucumber and tomato too.
Notes
Skirt or flank steak is recommended as they are juicy and flavorful. For thinner slices, freeze the steak for easier slicing.
