Ingredients


- Beef: 300g (10.5 oz), preferably brisket or shank, sliced into thin pieces
- Korean radish (Mu): 600g (1.3 lb), peeled and cut into thin slices
- Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- Green onions: 2, sliced
- Soy sauce: 2 tablespoons, for soup
- Sesame oil: 1 tablespoon
- Salt: to taste
- Pepper: to taste
- Water: 1.5 liters (6 cups)

 


Optional Ingredients
- Seaweed: a small handful, soaked and drained
- Red pepper flakes: 1 teaspoon, for extra heat

 

 


Instructions


1. Prep the Beef
   - In a bowl, marinate the beef slices with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of pepper. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to enhance the flavor.

2. Prepare the Radish
   - While the beef is marinating, peel and slice the Korean radish into thin pieces. This allows for quicker cooking and better absorption of the broth's flavors.

3. Cook the Beef
   - Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until it's nearly done. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

4. Add the Radish
   - Once the beef is lightly browned, add the sliced radish to the pot. Sauté together for about 5 minutes, or until the radish starts to become translucent.

5. Make the Broth
   - Add the water to the pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the top for a clearer soup.

6. Season the Soup
   - Add the remaining tablespoon of soy sauce, minced garlic, and salt to taste. Simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the radish is fully tender and the broth has a rich flavor.

7. Final Touches
   - Add the green onions and optional ingredients, if using, in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Serve
   - Serve the soup hot, garnished with more green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds. It pairs wonderfully with steamed rice and kimchi for a complete meal.

 

 


Tips for the Perfect Soup


- Broth Clarity : For a clearer broth, soak the beef in cold water for about 20 minutes to draw out any blood, then drain before marinating.
- djusting Flavors: Feel free to adjust the level of soy sauce and salt depending on your taste preferences and dietary needs.
- Serving Suggestions: This soup is traditionally served with rice and side dishes such as kimchi, making it a balanced meal.

Enjoy your homemade Korean Beef and Radish Soup, a dish full of flavors and nutrients that's sure to comfort and satisfy.
