A Delicious One-Bowl Meal: Brisket Over Rice (Uptizinsal Deopbap)
Introducing a simple yet satisfying domestic beef brisket (uptizinsal) rice bowl recipe that you can easily make at home. Uptizinsal, also known as ‘woosamgyeop’ or beef short rib, is a cut from the belly area that touches the ground when the cow is in a resting position. It features layers of fat and muscle. While the muscle fibers are slightly coarse, the intramuscular fat acts as beautiful marbling, making it a prime cut for its exceptional juiciness and rich flavor. Enjoy a delightful meal with this flavorful brisket over rice!
Main Ingredients- 300g beef brisket (uptizinsal)
- 1/2 medium onion
- 1 eringi mushroom
- 5 perilla leaves
- Cooked rice, as needed
Rice Bowl Sauce- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp mirin (rice wine)
- 1 Tbsp sake or soju
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide
- 1 Tbsp plum extract
- 1/4 cup water (approx. 60ml)
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp mirin (rice wine)
- 1 Tbsp sake or soju
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide
- 1 Tbsp plum extract
- 1/4 cup water (approx. 60ml)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gently pat the beef brisket dry with paper towels to remove any excess blood. Lightly season the beef with salt, then brush a thin layer of olive oil over it. Marinating the beef this way in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes will make it more tender and flavorful. Pepper is optional and can be added to your preference.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the delicious rice bowl sauce. For a rich flavor, combine 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp mirin, 1 Tbsp sake or soju, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide, 1 Tbsp plum extract, and 1/4 cup water in a pot. Stir well and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once it boils, add the thinly sliced onion.
Step 3
Simmer the sauce over medium-low heat, allowing the onions to fully absorb the flavors. The onions will become translucent and tender, deepening the sauce’s rich taste.
Step 4
Add the eringi mushroom to the prepared sauce and simmer briefly until cooked through. Eringi mushrooms add a unique texture and mild flavor that enhances the overall dish. Once the mushrooms are tender, the sauce is ready.
Step 5
Set the sauce aside for a moment, and it’s time to cook the star ingredient: the domestic beef brisket. Heat a pan over medium heat. Place the seasoned brisket in the hot pan and sear it until it sizzles and develops a nice brown crust. The natural fat from the brisket will render, adding even more flavor.
Step 6
Assemble your delicious rice bowl. Start with a generous portion of warm cooked rice in a bowl. Top it with the perfectly seared brisket. Drizzle a good amount of the prepared sauce over the meat. Finally, garnish with finely julienned perilla leaves. Your flavorful beef brisket rice bowl is now complete! Enjoy your meal!
