Fire and sweetness: Korea’s grilled beef, perfected over centuries.

The ritual

1
Slice thin
Beef is sliced almost paper-thin so it drinks up the marinade.
2
Pear marinade
Soy, grated pear, garlic, sesame and sugar tenderise and sweeten the meat.
3
Rest & soak
The beef marinates until it carries a deep sweet-savoury aroma.
4
Sear over high heat
Grilled fast until the edges caramelise and the centre stays juicy.
5
Sesame & scallion
Finished with toasted sesame and fresh spring onion.
