About this dish
Sogogi-beoseot deopbap is a Korean beef and mushroom rice bowl that sautees sliced beef with king oyster and shiitake mushrooms in soy-butter sauce.
Read more
The beef is seared first over high heat to develop a golden crust, then the thickly cut mushrooms go in and absorb the rendered juices, forming a naturally concentrated sauce in the pan. A knob of butter melted in at the end adds a creamy richness, while soy sauce ties everything together with a salty umami backbone. Minced garlic and sliced scallion layered into the stir-fry build an aromatic base that makes the topping fragrant the moment it hits the rice. The mushrooms hold their springy bite against the tender beef, giving each mouthful a satisfying textural contrast.

Instructions
Read the steps as a cooking flow: prep, heat, seasoning, doneness control, and finish.
- 1Finish
Wipe the king oyster and shiitake mushrooms with paper towels instead of rinsing, then slice them thickly.
Cut the beef into bite-size pieces, thinly slice the onion, and slice the green onion for finishing.
- 2Control
Heat a wide pan over high heat for about 1 minute, then melt the 15 g butter.
Spread the beef in one layer and sear for about 2 minutes, turning only occasionally so the surface browns instead of steaming.
- 3Control
When most of the beef has changed color, add the onion and 1 tsp minced garlic, then lower to medium heat.
Stir-fry for about 1 minute until the garlic smells fragrant, but add the mushrooms before it browns or burns.
- 4Heat
Add the king oyster and shiitake mushrooms and raise the heat to medium-high.
Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring, until their moisture cooks off, the pieces soften slightly, and the edges look glossy rather than wet.
- 5Season
Pour the 2 tbsp soy sauce around the edge of the pan so it sizzles, then toss everything for about 1 minute.
Turn off the heat when only a little sauce remains on the bottom and it coats the beef and mushrooms evenly.
- 6Finish
Divide 2 cups warm rice among bowls and top evenly with the beef, mushrooms, and pan sauce.
Finish with 20g green onion and serve immediately.
