Korean beef stew recipe

I’m so glad to stumble upon this dish from my sister’s immense compilation of recipes. It made me reminisce my college days when I used to order this every time my classmates and I took our lunch at the nearby mall. Anyway, my husband was very satisfied with how tasty the beef stew turned out that I didn’t hesitate to give my Kiwi neighbor some. Poor woman, she is currently having her entire kitchen renovated for the next few weeks so I thought maybe a delicious home-cooked meal might just cheer her up. She simply adores Asian food! I suppose it’s because she smells the inviting aroma of my cooking every single day!

Oh well, enough said. Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients:

4 tbsp oil
2 tsp garlic, minced
2 tsp ginger, minced
1 small onion, sliced
1 kilo beef sirloin or tenderloin, sliced thinly
3 cups beef stock
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp liquid seasoning
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 beef bouillon cube
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1 tbsp green onions, chopped

Procedure:

1. In a wok, heat oil then saute garlic, ginger and onions. Add beef slices and stir-fry over high heat until light brown in color.
2. Add the beef stock, soy sauce, liquid seasoning, sesame oil, beef cube, sugar and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cook until beef is tender.
3. Add the sesame seeds and green onions. Serve with steamed rice.

That’s it! It’s as easy as 1-2-3! But I must admit, there are heaps of ingredients, don’t you think?! I sure hope I didn’t miss any!

Happy cooking!
