Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Beef — For tender and flavorful results, choose a tender cut of beef such as sirloin or ribeye. Slice the beef thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
  • Ginger — Grating the ginger releases its aromatic oils, enhancing the overall flavor of the dish.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a spicier kick, add a dash of chili flakes or a drizzle of chili oil.
  • Customize the vegetable selection based on seasonal availability and personal preference.
  • To save time, marinate the beef overnight for even more flavor.
  • Serve with a side of kimchi for an extra burst of Korean flavor.
  • Leftovers can be enjoyed the next day as a delicious filling for lettuce wraps or in a stir-fry noodle dish.
