Seoul Food

An Asian cafe in my city serves oriental favourites such as Mee Goreng, Pandan Chicken, Lemongrass Ginger Chicken and Yakisoba over fragrant Jasmine rice in funky Chinese lunch pails. However, they've missed putting Korean Beef on their menu. A classic Asian dish, Korean Beef has intense smokey, barbeque-y flavour coupled with the saucy tartness of tomato sauce. It is an absolute rice bowl favourite.

Korean Beef

1/2 kg beef sirloin, sliced into thin strips
3 Tbsp. oil
1 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
150 g. bean sprouts

Marinade:

2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 stalks green onios, chopped
1 can (273 g.) spaghetti sauce
1 tsp. brown sugar

Marinate beef for 30 minutes, Drain but reserve marinade. Stir-fry beef in oil until cooked. Set aside. In the same pan, simmer marinade for 5 minutes. Combine with cooked beef. Add bean sprouts and sesame seeds. Stir once.

Chow, baby!
