- Servings: 4-8 (depending on serving style)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Total Time: 4.5 hours (but only 30 minutes active time)
Ingredients:
- 1 pound lean beef
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup potato starch
- Salt and pepper
- Vegetable oil for pan-frying
Marinade:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1-inch knob of fresh ginger, peeled
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon rice wine
- 1 teaspoon citron or lemon juice
How-to:
- Blend the marinade ingredients together and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the rest of the marinade ingredients and mix well. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Cut the meat into 1/2-inch by 1.5-inch strips, season with salt and pepper, and let it rest for 10 minutes.

- Combine the flour and potato starch.
- Beat the eggs well in a separate bowl.
- Remove the meat from the marinade, pat it dry, and dredge it in the flour mix. Dip it in the beaten egg and pan-fry (lightly browned) in a non-stick pan with oil heated over medium heat.
- Repeat this process until all the meat is cooked.
- Serve with a soy sauce-based dipping sauce, or go for a variation by placing marinated meat on mini skewers with asparagus, bell peppers, and green onions, then dredging, dipping, and frying as usual.
Pro Tip: If you prefer a more vegetable-focused Gogi Jeon, try adding chopped cabbage, shredded carrots, and chopped green onions to the marinade mixture, then follow the remaining steps as directed. Enjoy your homemade Korean delight!
