Serves: 2 - 4
Ingredients
  • For meat jun:
  • ½ pound thinly sliced filet mignon
  • ¼ cup less sodium soy sauce (Kikkoman recommended)
  • 1½ tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion
  • 1 teaspoon roasted sesame seeds
  • ½ cup flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • canola oil for frying
  • For dipping sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons less sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped green onion
  • ½ teaspoon roasted sesame seeds
  • ½ - 1 teaspoon gochugaru
Preparation
  1. Combine soy sauce through sesame seeds in a medium sized bowl. Add meat slices and marinate for 20 minutes (up to 30 minutes for thicker slices). Place marinated slices of meat on paper towels to drain slightly, just before you are ready to cook them (discard sauce).
  2. Meanwhile, combine dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  3. Place flour in a wide shallow bowl, and whisk eggs in another wide shallow bowl. Heat ¼ cup of canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat (enough to generously coat the entire bottom of the pan). Use tongs to dip meat in the flour making sure to cover each piece well. Gently shake off any extra flour, then dip meat in whisked eggs making sure to coat well. Place on a piece of foil. Continue with all of the meat slices. Working in batches, fry meat until golden brown, about 45-60 seconds per side. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Continue cooking the rest of the meat. Slice meat into strips about 1-inch wide. Arrange meat on platter and serve with dipping sauce on the side.
