Marbling is bling bling~ Taebaek Korean beef grilled over briquette fire

Taebaek, which used to be famous as a coal mining city and has been reborn as a tourism and leisure city since the 1990s, is also famous as a place where you can eat quality beef at an affordable price. This is because it has three conditions: pure Korean beef, not beef, dairy cow, or imported beef, high-quality meat of first grade or higher, and direct fire grilling using briquette fire. In the names of about 40 Korean beef restaurants in Taebaek City, including Hwangji Market Alley, ‘Sylvie Restaurant’ is used a lot. The literal meaning of ‘selling at actual cost’ is that the main menu items such as short ribs, assorted dishes, jumulleok, seasoned yukhoe, and raw sashimi are all 25,000 won for 200g per person. The assorted menu is popular because you can enjoy high-quality cuts such as the inner skirt, which weighs only 1.5 to 2 kg per cow, skirt meat, and swallow ribs. Yukhoe seasoned with sweet and cool pears is nothing short of savory.
