Ingredients:

Beef (tenderloin or sirloin), lettuce, green onions, garlic, salt,
black pepper, sugar, sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, soy
sauce, hot pepper flakes, hot pepper paste (gochujang), and
bean paste (doenjang).

1) Cut 1 pound of beef into ½ inch thick bite-sized pieces
and put them in a bowl. Add 1 ts of salt, a pinch
of ground black pepper, and 1 tbs of sesame oil and
mix it by hand. Set it aside when you’re done.

2) Make dipping sauce (ssamjang) by mixing the following
ingredients:

1 tbs of hot pepper paste, 2 tbs of bean paste, ½ tbs
of sugar, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 tbs of chopped
green onion, 1 tbs of sesame oil, and ½ tbs of
toasted sesame seeds.
You made a very nice dipping sauce!


3) Make seasoned green onion (pajuhri) this way:

1) Shred 8 green onions into thin strips 5 cm
long.

2) Rinse the sliced green onion in running
water. Drain it and set aside.

3) Make a sauce by mixing 2 tbs of soy sauce,
1 tbs of hot pepper flakes, ½ tbs of sugar, 1
tbs of sesame seeds, and 1 tbs of sesame
oil into a bowl.

4) Add the green onions to the sauce, and mix
it up with a spoon.



Are you ready to cook?

1) Slice a dozen cloves of garlic and place them in a
small bowl.

2) Cut carrots and cucumbers into bite-sized sticks for
dipping.

3) Drizzle some sesame oil on a heated grill or pan for
flavor and to keep the meat from sticking to the grill.
4) Use tongs to add chunks of meat and sliced garlic to
the grill. Cook them thoroughly.

5) Wrap a piece of cooked beef and garlic in a lettuce
leaf. Add some dipping sauce and pop it into your
mouth in one bite.

*tip: the beef in this recipe can be replaced with thinly sliced
pork belly to make “samgyeopsal gui.”
