    A few tips

    For a more authentic version

    • To enhance the flavours of this dish, marinate your beef strips for 24 hours. For 500 grams of meat, combine with 4 tablespoons of apple and pear juice (a little less in this recipe), 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of honey, a drizzle of sesame oil and 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped. 
    • Make kimchi beef dumplings too! For 500 grams of lean ground beef, combine with 1/3 cup of finely chopped kimchi, 1 egg, 1 tsp honey and black pepper. You can also serve kimchi as a side dish.
    • Serve the cooked meat with Boston lettuce leaves or nori wraps and a julienne of Asian apple-pear. Koreans often marinate meat in pear purée to tenderize it, and the pairing of beef and pear is common.
    • Korean gochujang (fermented chili paste) is usually available in Asian grocery stores and some popular big-box grocers. It can also be ordered directly online, like this one..
