Savory fire beef is a common Korean meal

Recipe: Galbi Marinated Fire Beef- A marinade is prepared of soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, pear juice, minced garlic, and black pepper powder. Sliced beef or pork is then marinated in the mixture, and added to sliced onion while cooking.

Galbi, meaning rib in Korean, is eaten across the Korea. It can be added to soups, or stews, and is commonly eaten during lunch similarly to a sandwich here in the US. The beef is marinated to soften the meat, and allow it to be more easily manipulated with chopsticks.

“Korean fire beef is mostly a side dish,” says junior David Lim, “in Korea you eat a lot of side dishes, we usually eat soup with it,” he says.
