Ingredients
- 500 g beef chuck
- 200 g fresh shiitake mushrooms
- 100 g baby corn
- 15 g seafood soy sauce
- 8 g oyster sauce
- 3 g refined salt
- 7 g white sugar
- 3 g black pepper powder
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
Instructions
- 1Prepare the beef
Begin by placing one jin of high-quality beef chuck pieces into a clean metal tray. Ensure the beef is well-distributed to allow for even marination in the following steps.
Tip: Pat the beef dry with paper towels before seasoning to help the marinade adhere better to the meat. - 2Add fresh shiitake mushrooms
Incorporate sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms into the tray with the beef. The earthy flavor of the mushrooms will complement the richness of the beef during the grilling process.
Tip: Slice the mushrooms uniformly so they cook at the same rate as the beef. - 3Incorporate baby corn
Add pieces of crisp baby corn to the tray. This provides a refreshing crunch and a subtle sweetness that balances the savory marinade.
Tip: Leave the baby corn in bite-sized chunks to ensure they remain crunchy after grilling. - 4Season with sauces
Pour 15 grams of seafood soy sauce and 8 grams of oyster sauce over the beef and vegetable mixture. These sauces will provide a deep, savory umami base for the marinade.
Tip: Drizzle the sauces evenly across all ingredients to ensure consistent seasoning. - 5Add seasonings and aromatics
Sprinkle 3 grams of refined salt, 7 grams of white sugar, 3 grams of black pepper powder, and add a generous amount of minced garlic to the tray. These aromatics and seasonings build the complex Korean-style flavor profile.
Tip: Freshly minced garlic will provide a much stronger, more fragrant flavor than jarred alternatives. - 6Garnish with green onions
Top the seasoned ingredients with slices of large green onions. Finally, pour a little cooking oil over everything to seal in the moisture and flavors.
Tip: Use your hands to gently mix all the ingredients together thoroughly so every piece of beef is well-coated in the sauce. - 7Add oil to the marinade
Drizzle cooking oil over the prepared mixture of beef, shiitake mushrooms, baby corn, aromatics, and seasonings. The oil helps to seal in the moisture and allows the marinade to coat all ingredients evenly, ensuring a rich flavor profile.
Tip: Adding the oil last helps distribute the seasonings and creates a glossy finish on the meat and mushrooms. - 8Mix the ingredients
Using gloved hands, thoroughly toss and mix all the ingredients in the tray to ensure the beef, mushrooms, baby corn, and aromatics are completely coated in the savory marinade.
Tip: Massage the marinade into the beef and mushrooms to allow the flavors to penetrate the surface for the best taste.
