Minchee is a Korean dish consisting of thinly sliced beef (often rib eye or sirloin) marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, garlic, and other seasonings. It’s often served with lettuce wraps and various side dishes like kimchi and rice. Here’s a simple recipe to cook Minchee:
Ingredients:
– 1 lb flank steak or rib eye
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon sugar
– 1 teaspoon minced garlic
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
Marinade:
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon sugar
– 1 teaspoon minced garlic
– 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Accompaniments:
– Fresh lettuce leaves (e.g., Boston or romaine)
– Kimchi
– Cooked rice
Instructions:
- Prepare the Beef: Cut the steak across the grain into very thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick. This makes the meat tender and easier to eat.
Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sugar, garlic, sesame oil, salt, and pepper for the beef marinade.
Marinate the Beef: Place the sliced beef in a container or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the beef and ensure each piece is coated. Seal the container or plastic bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Cook the Minchee: Preheat a skillet or stainless steel pan over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil (about 1 tablespoon) to the pan. Remove the beef from the marinade (reserving the leftover marinade) and cook the slices for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they’re seared and slightly crispy around the edges.
Serve: Arrange the cooked minchee on a platter with the accompaniments like lettuce leaves, kimchi, and steamed rice. Drizzle some of the leftover marinade over the beef to add extra flavor.
Remember to handle raw meat carefully and ensure your meat is fresh before cooking. Enjoy your homemade Minchee!
