Jang-jorim (Korean: 장조림; Hanja: 酱牛肉) is a Korean side dish consisting of lean beef braised in soy sauce with shishito peppers and eggs.[1] Jang-jorim is a type of jorim, a Korean simmered dish that preserves well. The side dish is commonly packed in lunch boxes in South Korea and is sold at South Korean convenience stores as a lunchtime dish.[2][3] The dish can also be made using shiitake mushrooms, quail eggs, and pork.

History

The first known description of jang-jorim is in Volume 128 of the Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty, where it describes a dish called damhae (Korean: 담해; Hanja: 醓醢) made by slicing beef and braising it in soy sauce.[4]

Description

Jang-jorim with eggs

The dish is made by simmering small chunks of lean beef first in water, skimming off any scum. Once the beef is cooked, the meat is simmered in soy sauce along with a mixture of garlic, ginger, and sugar. When served, the meat is shredded along the grain, and drizzled with the braising liquid to re-moisten the meat.[3][5] The dish preserves well in the fridge, and is typically served cold with other side dishes.[6]
