Beef and Seaweed Soup Ingredients
- Beef (for soup) 325g
- Dried seaweed 50g
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1L beef bone broth (sa-gol guk)
- 2 Tbsp anchovy sauce (dashima myeolchi aekjeot)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, place the 50g of dried seaweed in a large bowl and soak it in cold water for about 5 minutes until softened. This helps to rinse off any excess saltiness.
Step 2
Add the 325g of beef to a wok or pot. Using beef cuts with less fat for soup will result in a cleaner broth flavor.
Step 3
Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic to the beef to enhance the savory aroma and depth of flavor.
Step 4
Thinly slice 1 medium onion and add it to the pot with the beef. The onions will caramelize as they cook, releasing their natural sweetness and enriching the soup’s flavor.
Step 5
Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces for easy eating. Avoid cutting them too small, as they might disintegrate during simmering.
Step 6
Once the seaweed has rehydrated, trim it into manageable pieces, about 3-4cm in length. This makes it easier to eat.
Step 7
Rinse the prepared seaweed thoroughly under cold running water a couple of times to remove any remaining salt. Squeeze out excess water by hand and add it to the pot. This step is crucial for achieving a pleasant, chewy texture.
Step 8
Pour in 1L of beef bone broth as the base for your rich soup. Using store-bought beef bone broth can simplify the process and add a deep, authentic flavor.
Step 9
Cover the pot and simmer over medium-low heat for about 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the beef to become tender. Once the soup has developed a rich flavor, season with 2 tablespoons of anchovy sauce. Adjust seasoning to your personal preference.
Step 10
Your delicious and nutritious beef and seaweed soup is now ready!
Step 11
Serve hot with freshly cooked rice for a complete and comforting meal. It’s perfect for a hearty rice bowl!
Step 12
Enjoy this wonderfully balanced beef and seaweed soup, where the tender beef meets the delightful chewiness of seaweed, creating a dish that is both healthy and incredibly delicious!
