Main Ingredients
- Beef Brisket (thinly sliced) 300g
- Eggs 3
- Herb Salt (to taste)
Dipping Sauce (Optional)
- Sriracha Sauce
- Sriracha Sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the eggs, which will create the tender coating for your Jeon. Crack 3 eggs into a bowl and whisk them thoroughly with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are completely combined. Aim for a smooth, lump-free mixture.
Step 2
You can use a small rectangular egg-roll pan or a regular frying pan. If using a regular pan, remember you’ll need to spread the egg thinly. I used an egg-roll pan here to achieve a slightly thicker layer of egg, which is quite lovely. Gauge the size of your pan to adjust the amount of egg mixture.
Step 3
Now it’s time to cook the star ingredient: the beef brisket. Heat your pan over medium heat without adding any extra oil. Add about 150g of the thinly sliced beef brisket and cook. You can season it with herb salt as it cooks, or sprinkle with regular salt and pepper to your preference. This adds a wonderful savory depth.
Step 4
It’s important to cook the beef brisket until it’s golden brown and nicely crisped. This will enhance the texture of your Jeon and make it even more delicious.
Step 5
Cooking the beef brisket will release quite a bit of fat. To ensure a cleaner taste and a healthier dish, gently press down on the brisket with paper towels to absorb excess grease from the pan. Wiping away the excess oil is key for a refined flavor.
Step 6
After wiping the pan clean, pour about half of your prepared egg mixture evenly over the beef brisket. Cook over medium-low heat; this gentle heat prevents the egg from burning and ensures it cooks beautifully.
Step 7
Once you see that the bottom layer of the egg is set, carefully flip the Jeon using a spatula. Cook the other side until it’s also golden brown and cooked through. It’s almost ready when both sides have a nice color.
Step 8
Transfer the finished Beef Brisket Jeon onto parchment paper or paper towels for a moment to drain any excess oil. Then, arrange it on a serving plate. You can enjoy it as is, or with a side of spicy and sweet Sriracha sauce. This simple yet impressive dish is perfect for a late-night treat!
