Kalbi (Sauce) Steak on Purple Skies
This recipe is simple and hits the spot, especially if you want to veer a bit healthier on a “cheat day.”
Ingredients (for 2 servings)
☐ 2 pieces of korean bbq steak/tender cut of beef of your choosing
☐ 5-6 tablespoons Mirin
☐ 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
☐ 1 tablespoon of black pepper (adjust to your own preference)
☐ 2 Hawaiian purple yams
☐ ½ tablespoon butter (optional)
Instructions for Ube Mash:
Chop the yams horizantally so there are ~3-4 pieces from each yam.
Steam them for 20 minutes.
After cooling them for 10-15 minutes, peel them and begin mashing them in a bowl.
OPTIONAL- add butter to reduce crumbliness of the yams and increase smoothness. Note: too much butter will overpower the taste of the Ube itself.
Instructions for steak:
Heat up your pan/wok and sear the steak on medium/high heat; normally 30-40 sec on each side for medium thickness steaks (adjust according to your preferred rareness)
Add the marinade once you’ve flipped it over.
Rest steak for 5-10 minutes
