facebook share image   twitter share image   pinterest share image   E-Mail share image

Korean beef simmered in soy sauce is a traditional Korean dish called jangjorim, which is known for its savory and slightly sweet flavor. This dish is made using high-quality beef that is slowly simmered in a concoction of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, green onions, and various other seasonings, until the beef becomes tender and absorbs all the flavors of the sauce. Jangjorim is often served as a main course, accompanied by rice, or as a side dish with other Korean dishes. It is also a great option for meal prepping, as it can be stored in the refrigerator for several days or even frozen for later use.

Here are our top 6 tried and tested recipes!

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1.5 pounds beef brisket, flank steak, or shank meat
1/2 medium onion
2 scallions white part
6 ounces of Korean radish, mu, cut into big chunks
7 plump garlic cloves
3 thin ginger slices, about 1-inch round
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppers (or ground peppers to taste)
5 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons soup soy sauce (guk ganjang, 국간장) ((or use more regular soy sauce))
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons rice wine or mirin
1 piece 3-inch square dried kelp ((or a bay leaf))
10 to 12 Shishito peppers (or other fresh green peppers) (Use less and cut into halves if using large peppers)
3 boiled eggs, peeled

Steps:

  • Cut the beef into 2 to 3-inch rectangles.
  • In a covered medium pot, bring 8 cups of water and the next 6 ingredients to a boil. Continue to boil for 5 minutes over medium high heat.
  • Drop the meat into the pot. Bring it to a gentle boil, and remove the scum. Reduce the heat to medium. Boil, covered, for about 30 minutes.
  • Remove the meat. Strain the cooking liquid into a large bowl, and then add 2.5 cups of the liquid back to the pot. (You can save the remaining broth to make a soup or stew later.)
  • Add the meat and sauce ingredients to the pot. Bring it to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, and boil, covered, until the meat is tender and the sauce is reduced to about ⅓, about 20 minutes. You can cook longer if the meat is still not tender enough.
  • Add the optional dried kelp, peppers and eggs and continue to boil for about 10 minutes. Discard the kelp, and transfer everything else to an airtight container for storage. Cool before storing in the fridge. Shred the meat and pour some sauce over to serve.

2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 tablespoon rice wine
½ teaspoon Korean red chile pepper, or to taste
4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled, or more to taste

I have been making jangjorim for many years but recently decided to make it into a recipe to pass it on to my daughter. I have had my young Korean friends try it, and they told me that it tasted just like how their mothers made it! It is a Korean side dish, banchan, but it's so good you can just eat this and rice for a quick yummy meal anytime. jangjorim can be served cold right from the fridge, at room temperature, or can be heated up in the microwave. Add fresh ginger, if you like ginger.

JALAPEñO JANGJORIM WITH JAMMY EGGS



Jalapeño Jangjorim With Jammy Eggs image

Jangjorim is a Korean dish of soy sauce-braised meat, often studded with pulled eye of round (sometimes sold as "jangjorim meat" at Korean grocery stores), hard-boiled eggs and wrinkly kkwarigochu (shishito peppers), which are mild enough to eat whole. This version, inspired by my mother's recipe, uses eggs that are just boiled enough that they'll peel easily and the yolks will remain fudgy. In place of the shishitos are fat, juicy jalapeños, adding a welcome freshness and fruity heat. And the beef is brisket, shredded into long, pleasurably chewy strands, which soak up the umami-rich soy sauce brine. As a banchan, this dish is an ideal accompaniment to a bowl of fresh white rice. Any leftover sauce you might have is a large part of the joy of making jangjorim: It tastes fabulous when soaked into rice with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil, or as a sweet, saline base for soba noodles.

Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ice, as needed
5 large eggs
1 pound beef brisket, cut into 3-inch cubes
1/2 medium yellow onion, unpeeled
2 large scallions, halved crosswise
1 (5-inch) square dasima (dried kelp)
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, unpeeled and thinly sliced
1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 packed tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon mirin
4 large jalapeños, halved lengthwise, deseeded if you don't like heat
7 large garlic cloves, peeled

Steps:

  • In a medium pot over high heat, bring 6 cups water to a boil. Set up an ice bath in a medium bowl.
  • Using a spoon, gently lower the eggs into the boiling water, reduce the heat to medium-high and cook at a moderate boil for 8 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs into the ice bath. Let the eggs cool for 5 minutes, then peel and set aside.
  • Gently nestle the beef brisket into the pot of hot water; add the onion, scallions, dasima and ginger. Bring to a boil again, then reduce the heat to medium and cook at a gentle boil until the meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Using a pair of tongs, transfer the meat onto a cutting board and let cool slightly. As the meat cools, strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl and discard the aromatics. Add 3 cups of broth back to the pot. (Any remaining broth can be reserved for soup or noodles.) Add the soy sauce, brown sugar and mirin to the pot and stir until combined. With your hands, shred the beef into thin strands, and add to the pot as well.
  • Bring the pot to a boil and cook over medium-high heat until the soy sauce brine reduces slightly, about 10 minutes. Nestle in the peeled eggs along with the jalapeños and garlic. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool completely.
  • Serve at room temperature. (If preparing in advance, transfer the mixture to a resealable container, such as a Mason jar, and keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. This dish tastes great cold, straight out of the fridge.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Shank, chuck, and brisket are all good choices for this dish. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in the soy sauce marinade.
  • Marinate the beef for at least 4 hours, or overnight: This will help the beef absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Brown the beef before simmering: This will give it a nice caramelized flavor.
  • Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce is the key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a soy sauce that is dark and flavorful.
  • Simmer the beef for at least 2 hours: This will give the beef time to become tender and absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Serve the beef with rice or noodles: Jangjorim is traditionally served with rice, but it can also be served with noodles or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Jangjorim is a delicious and easy-to-make Korean dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the soy sauce marinade gives it a rich, umami taste. Serve jangjorim with rice or noodles, and enjoy!
