How to Prep Korean Raw Beef

It is important to work quickly when handling raw beef so that it does not become too warm.

1. The first step is to use fresh beef that was recently purchased. Take your cut of beef and let it firm up in the freezer before taking it out to slice. The beef should be as cold as possible but not frozen solid.
2. Letting the beef firm up for 1 hour in the freezer makes it easier to slice thinly and keeps it cold longer while handling. Slice the beef across the grain into as thin as possible slices. Try to do this quickly, so the beef doesn’t get too warm.
3. Season the beef and then serve it immediately after seasoning.
