Method

Preparation of Beef

  1. 1

    Select and Trim Beef

    Select high-quality beef tenderloin and ensure it is fresh. Trim any excess fat and sinew from the meat.

  2. 2

    Freeze Beef for Slicing

    Freeze the beef tenderloin for about 1-2 hours until it is firm but not completely frozen. This will make it easier to slice.

  3. 3

    Slice the Beef

    Using a sharp knife, slice the beef tenderloin thinly against the grain into fine strips. Aim for slices about 1-2 mm thick.

Mixing Seasoning

  1. 4

    Prepare the Seasoning

    In a mixing bowl, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, black pepper, and sesame seeds. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 5

    Mix Beef with Seasoning

    Add the sliced beef to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Use a pair of chopsticks or your hands to gently mix the beef with the seasoning until evenly coated.

Garnishing and Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Beef

    Plate the seasoned beef mixture on a serving dish, arranging it neatly. Make a small indentation in the center.

  2. 7

    Add Egg Yolk

    Place the egg yolk in the center indentation of the beef. This adds richness and flavor when mixed.

  3. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle the finely chopped chives and thinly sliced radish over the beef as garnish.
