Ingredients
- 500 g fresh beef rib meat
- 100 ml Korean-style marinade sauce
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 small bunch fresh parsley
- 1 whole carrot, julienned for garnish
Instructions
- 1Trim the beef ribs
Begin by preparing the fresh beef rib meat. Place the beef on a clean cutting board and carefully trim away any excess fat and tough connective tissue. Using precise knife skills ensures the meat will be tender and enjoyable to eat after grilling.
Tip: Use a sharp boning or trimming knife to remove the silver skin without losing too much meat. - 2Slice the beef
Once the beef is trimmed, slice it into thin, uniform pieces. Use an angled knife technique, cutting across the grain to ensure the slices will be as tender as possible when cooked. Keep the slices even so they cook at the same rate.
Tip: Partially freezing the beef for about 30 minutes before slicing can make it much easier to achieve clean, uniform cuts. - 3Dip in the marinade
Prepare a bowl of the secret Korean-style marinade. Take the freshly sliced beef pieces and dip them directly into the dark, savory sauce. Ensure each slice is well-coated so the flavors can penetrate the meat.
Tip: For deeper flavor, you can let the meat rest in the marinade for 30 minutes to an hour before grilling. - 4Plate for serving
After coating the beef in the marinade, lift the slices out, allowing any excess sauce to drip off. Arrange the marinated beef neatly onto a wooden serving tray or cast iron platter. Garnish the tray beautifully for an elegant presentation.
Tip: Serve the marinated beef immediately if you plan to grill it right at the table, Korean BBQ style.
