About this dish

Thin-sliced beef brisket goes into a dry pan first, and the fat it renders cooks the garlic, onion and zucchini.

If the brisket gives off plenty, the cooking oil can be cut back. It is a side for rice, or spooned over a hot bowl of it as a quick rice bowl.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Slice 220g of zucchini into 0.5cm half-moons, cut 70g of onion into thin 0.3cm strips, and finely chop one cheongyang chili into rings about 0.5cm thick.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of doenjang and 1 teaspoon of soup soy sauce.

    Stir thoroughly with a spoon until the paste is smooth and clump-free.

  3. 3

    Place 220g of beef brisket in a dry pan without oil.

    Stir-fry over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes until the meat is browned and its fat renders completely.

  4. 4

    Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and the onion to the rendered beef fat.

    Stir for 1 minute until fragrant, then add the zucchini and increase to high heat.

  5. 5

    Add the seasoning paste and stir-fry for 2 minutes.

    Add the chili and cook for 1 more minute, stopping while the zucchini still retains a slight, crisp bite.

  6. 6

    Turn off the heat and drizzle 1 teaspoon of perilla oil.

    Toss briefly to coat with the nutty aroma and serve immediately before the vegetables release excess moisture.
