Main Ingredients- 1kg Beef Brisket (Arongsatae)
- 4 stalks white parts of leeks
- 5 whole garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
- 200g chives
- 200g bean sprouts
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, it’s crucial to properly soak the beef brisket to remove any blood. Submerge the Arongsatae in plenty of cold water for about 1 hour. Changing the water once or twice during this time will help ensure it’s thoroughly cleaned.
Step 2
Place the soaked beef brisket in a pot. Add enough water to fully cover the meat. For added aroma and flavor, toss in the white parts of the leeks, whole garlic cloves, and whole peppercorns, which are excellent for eliminating any gamey odors.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to cook. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once the broth starts boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, even lower than medium heat. Let it simmer slowly for 1 hour to tenderize the beef brisket.
Step 4
After 1 hour, turn off the heat completely. Keep the lid on the pot and let the beef brisket rest in the broth for another 1 to 2 hours. This resting period allows the meat to become even more moist and tender.
Step 5
Once the beef brisket is cooked and tender, carefully remove it from the pot. Let it cool slightly, then slice it as thinly as possible. Thin slices will ensure a pleasant texture in the hot pot and allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 6
In your hot pot dish, create a base layer with a generous amount of clean bean sprouts. Then, arrange the fresh chives attractively on top of the sprouts. These vegetables will add sweetness and a refreshing element as they cook.
Step 7
Arrange the thinly sliced Arongsatae over the bed of bean sprouts and chives. Strain the reserved broth through a sieve to get a clear, rich liquid. Season this clear broth first with soy sauce for soup (Guk-ganjang) to establish a savory base, then adjust the saltiness to your preference. The exact amounts of soy sauce and salt can be adjusted based on your taste.
Step 8
Now, you can heat and enjoy your hot pot! The broth will infuse the beef and vegetables with a deep, comforting flavor. When serving, dipping the tender beef and vegetables into a mustard sauce will enhance the taste even further. Enjoy this hearty and satisfying meal with its warm, delicious broth!
