Main Ingredients
- Beef (for grilling), thinly sliced – 1 pack
- Chives – 50g
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the fresh chives. Trim any yellow leaves or debris, then wash them thoroughly under running water. After draining the excess water, cut the chives into bite-sized pieces, about 3 to 4 cm in length.
Step 2
While you can make the chive salad dressing ahead of time, it’s best to toss the chives just before serving to maintain their crispness and freshness. In a bowl, combine 2 Tbsp gochugaru, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 Tbsp maesil cheong, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, 1 Tbsp saeu-jeot, and 1/2 Tbsp crushed sesame seeds. Mix well to create a delicious dressing for your chive salad.
Step 3
Prepare the beef by slicing it thinly against the grain, much like you would slice a steak. This technique ensures the beef is tender and absorbs the flavors beautifully.
Step 4
Fresh beef is characterized by its vibrant red color and healthy sheen. High-quality ingredients are the foundation of any delicious dish.
Step 5
Heat a pan and add the thinly sliced beef to grill. For this recipe, we’re skipping pepper and letting the natural flavor of the fresh beef shine through. It’s delicious just as it is!
Step 6
Once the beef is nicely grilled, add the prepared chives to the flavorful dressing you made earlier. Gently toss to combine, ensuring the chives are well-coated without becoming mushy. This creates a delightful chive salad.
Step 7
Arrange the warm, grilled beef and the freshly dressed chives attractively on a plate. Now, wrap them together with your favorite fresh lettuce or greens for a delightful bite. Enjoy the burst of fresh flavors!
